Title: Hello from Montana!
Post by: medicboy on November 19, 2003, 08:47:29 PM: Hey, just getting setteled in here in big sky country. Having a blast. Already have the Mt drivers licence and licence plates, starting my job next week.

Finaly got this sat. internet thing working, Im not that impressed but it is better than dial up, although I haven't tried it in the MA yet.

ELk hunt in Idaho was a blast, 6 guys in camp and all 6 got their bulls, dropped mine at 200 yards on the run with 1 shot. I love that little 300 wsm, it sure does the job. Longest shot of the week belonged to a 300 H&H mag, 423 yards, took 2 shots (both hits) to drop him, then took us a day and a half to pack out the cape, 4 quarters, and the back straps, loins.

HOpe to see yall in the MA!

Post by: Ripsnort on November 20, 2003, 07:49:01 AM: All 6 of you got bulls!? WTG! Glad you're settled in. We'll be passing through in June OTW to Minnesota, I've got a Slide-in and a boat I'm picking up back there, then we're turning around and heading to Fort Peck for a week of fishing. Can't wait!

I'll be back in Ennis for Deer season in Fall 2004, maybe we can hook up then...

Post by: medicboy on November 20, 2003, 09:16:24 AM: Thanks guys. Having fun here and the snow is not a problem. No more here than where I came from.

Rip, sounds good, looking for some good areas to hunt, there are a lot of deer right behind my house but havent seen any big bucks, only a few forkies. Also looking for a good place to hunt coyotes, my favorite pass time.:aok

Have fun!

Post by: medicboy on November 20, 2003, 03:50:54 PM: lepaul: I tried aces high last night, and had no major problems, it's not as smooth as my cable was but I was getting 60-70 frames per second, the only thing I noticed is when I keyed my radio to talk frame rate droped dramaticaly.

Westy: frank is dead, but there are a few other celebs here, but I don't care...

OIO: I came from Cali so the cost of living is WAY cheaper here, here are a few examples. Not sure about water, sewer, other city services, I live on a mountain south of town.

3 bed/2 bath house on 2 acres for $130k, can rent a 3 bed/2 bath house for around $600/month. Car insurance is about the same as Cali, so expensive. Car registration is about the same as Cali. $600 for my 2000 chevy truck and 2001 toyota 4runner per year (for both) Gas is $1.49/gal, about $.40/gal less than cali. There is no sales tax. State income tax is 10% I think. Oh ya, there are hot women every where! I was suprised, there is a big university in Missoula where I work, tons of college girls.

Mini D, I ended up in bewteen Hamilton and Darby, about 6 miles north of Darby, 10 miles south of Hamilton.

Check out Bozeman sometime, its the State College town, makes the girls in Missoula look like they need to pull their head out of a feed bucket to get a good look at 'em. I swear, always seems "State" colleges have better looking females than private. :D

Post by: Gman on November 20, 2003, 04:55:54 PM: Hey Medic, I just got back from your neck of the woods, my range/shooting biz does a ton of biz in Missoula, I'm down in Montana from Calgary Alberta 3 times a month.

If you're ever up North here and want to do some shooting/hunting/varmitting, let me know, and we should grab a beer in April at the big gun show there.

I could do that, 200 yards is easy.

:D :aok

Post by: type_char on November 20, 2003, 05:06:05 PM: >on the run

I reread that and noticed you said it was running. I thought you ment stationary. Thats pretty impressive to think about it.
Title: Hello from Montana!
Post by: medicboy on November 20, 2003, 05:22:28 PM: Type-char, elk are very big, it's not that hard even on the run at 200, now the last coyote I shot:376 yards on the move was impresssive, but you don't have to lead much if the bullet is going 4000 fps..:D

Gman: Big gun show?????? Im interested, tell me more... please

I don't think I've ever got within 300 yards of a coyote before they scented, saw me and turned tail. They're open game in Ennis year around, ranchers hate em.

Post by: medicboy on November 20, 2003, 09:52:45 PM: The guy I used to call yotes in with in cali would not let me shoot till they were inside of 20 feet and he had taken his pictures, closest shot I ever had was 5 feet, yote came in behind me, I floped over on my back and stuck the rifle out and shot him inthe face, got the blood pumping that time.:D
