[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 78391, member: 10"] Big Sky, I agree, I could put in for a permit pretty much anywhere east of Great Falls and draw a permit every year. The reason we put in for this area is because this is the area where we do all of our long range shooting year round. We know the area like the back of our hand and also knwo the herds as well. We are able to scout at will with no pressure form outsiders such as you get with BLM land and such. I personally feel that while the numbers are not as high as out east, the quality of mature bucks is significantly higher on average. THis is mainly I believe because the animals feed in alfalfa fields most of the year and produce significant mass on their horns. Plus, its 10 minutes from my house. I can hunt every day and still get work done in the shop as well and not have to be limited to weekend hunts 300 miles away on ground I am not intimate with. Lets just say its my back yard and I would rather wait to hunt there then go back east and shoot a goat every year and deal with the other hunters. The goats here also seem to be much better tasting then sage brush fed goats. I have yet to taste a bad one, even my wifes +80" B7C buck last fall was VERY good eating. Like I said, being able to hunt at home is what I enjoy the most. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
