Just put in my applications for moose/sheep/goat the other day. Now the dreaded wait. Sometimes I get scared that I might actually draw a tag, and then I remember the miniscule odds  :)
Is it September yet?!

When does a person know the draw results in Montana? Is it as early as June?

Not this year. 2010 Bighorn Canmore bowzone.
The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.

sunny hill,

 I hope to join a Alberta friend of mine on a Canmore hunt if and when he draws the tag.


 Seems like hunting sheep and Mt goats is all I can think of anymore. Might be why I send thousands of dollars off to western states each year in hopes of acquiring a tag I have little to no chance of drawing. Almost like a gambling addiction. It may be worse because at least most gamblers have better odds.

 I'll be hunting Mt goats in BC again this year. I probably could have been going on another sheep hunt if I would have taken a goat on one of my first two attempts. To me goats are the next best thing and a guided hunt for them is a little less expensive than a sheep hunt. Now add three of them togeter and I just don't know about that?

Well kicking around an OTC goat tag in AK this fall with my son-in-law so it may not be a total loss  ;)   If I can squeeze it in around all these elk and deer anyway   :D
