OLBIKEROB`s Excellent Montana Hunt
We drove through Snow & Ice on I90 to get there.Rained,Snowed and up to 60 MPH winds while hunting.Roads and two tracks were Gumbo.Aced this guy at 200 yds off my Backpack with the second shot.Not my biggest,but a whole lot of fun.Not bad for a DIY hunt.Geeze I hated leaving there.Tags dont come easy in the Draw& who knows when I will get another.OB

FN in MontanaYeah I rode the BMW GS as well as the old Ducati today as it was just so amazingly WARM. Too bad the wind speed was about 80% of the temp reading. We had some real good gusts today.
