Whelp, I git to wake up nice and early tomarrow morning. I got me about a 6 hour drive to Scott’s ranch in Montana. So I won’t be on for the next few days. We’re gonna do some varmint huntin with some buddies (hopefully we’ll get us some coyotes), and they’re gonna put me to work around the ranch.
Eight o’clock is a mighty ungodly hour in my book. So hopefully I won’t fall asleep on the road.
I’ll just need a pot of coffee and some good ol’ boy tunes to keep me truckin.

Last couple days have been fun. They got their first calf in a couple days back. A few weeks early, and it looks suspiciously like the neighbors bull.
The day following my arrival, all of the snow decided to fall. So we didn’t get any huntin’ in that first day. But today was beautiful and clear so we went out. It was Scott, Lacy, Ryan and his girlfriend, and I. We didn’t get any coyotes. I can’t believe we didn’t see any, cos I ain’t never seen so much sign in all my born days. We did see a pack of mule deer up on a ridge.
We did find a kill though. We suspect it was a mountain lion or a wolf. The coyotes got to it after the killer left. So there was plenty of fur and blood around. You could see where the deer was dragged around in the snow too. It was pretty neat.
So while drivin out we stopped just in front of a jack rabbit sittin’ on the side of the road. So I popped it with the AR-15. And that was about the extent of our coyote hunt.
I’m headin out of here tomarrow ’round 10:30. They say the snow and ice isn’t half bad once I get past Butte, so that’ll be good.
A couple pics to go up within the next day.

Change of plans. We decided to go out lookin fer coyotes again this morning. So we took off around 7am. It was a whopping 0 degrees out there, but we had our coffee.
We drove around for a good while, and didn’t see a one blasted coyote out there. After makin it to the top of the mountain we were goin up, Scott thinks we should pull the chains off so we can get down faster. Welp, not soon after he slides into a ditch. So we had to do some diggin. I got a couple pics that I’ll post when I get home.
We came across some lion hunters who said they saw some coyotes. Of course we’re the ones who didn’t get to spot em. Thats how it always goes. Well, I’m takin off from here shortly. Should be home in about 6 hours, depending on how the pass’ look.
