I just left Broadus, MT with an unpunched tag. I would stay near Ashland. Worked hard to find only forkies and a couple small 4 points. As it got closer to the weekend, there were trucks on every public land access within 30 miles of Broadus just about.
And the tides/wind driven wave combo there can be epic on small boats. Boats can get swamped if you don’t anchor properly as in two bow, one stern far out. Hiring transport is easier.
When I went, I just called around to local tackle shops for fishing guide phone numbers. They expect the calls and work around the time of the hunt. It is pricey for what it is but cheaper than trailering 500 miles.
I have been before. Looking for an update post hurricane. The panhandle suffered severe damage, curious how the barrier island was affected and if the ponds have changed, vegetation die-offs etc. Thanks to anyone who may have some insight to share

Thanks
Not a lot of them on public lands in South Florida. Maybe down in Miami at Rocky Glades SGA but it has to be during general gun season. Unfortunately you can’t just walk the levees off the highway and shoot them. That would be a quick way for a visit from the Sheriff’s office. We shoot em off...
I have one, not much to compare it to besides a beam scale, but it is my favorite piece of reloading equipment. Very precise and the tech is cool. Can be finicky to set up to get the 0.02 every time but once you get it right it stays there until you change powders. The scale has to warm up for...
I had my first trip to Wyoming hunting antelope this year. The weather was variable from cool to snow. When it snowed, I sat in the truck because you couldn’t see anything anyway. I stayed in a local motel and cooked groceries from Casper in the room. Listen to the guy who said rifle, bullets...
Thanks for the response. I would like to get in the mountains too but the flatland is much more approachable in a rental truck and for my Dad. Did the block management areas seem to get as much attention?
