I commend you for your ethics--most hunters that come here from out of state let lead fly at the elk or deer no matter what the size of the rack is.. that may be all well and good for some but not for myself and apparently not for you either..

I hunted in the Missouri Breaks for 9 years before I shot a buck--he scored in the mid 180's--during that time I would see anywhere from 60 to 100 plus deer per year--but looking for the right one..shot another in the 180's two years later and finally a 206 buck in 2005...

Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas
