Record Quest: Whitetail and Mule Deer Hunting Along the Montana/Wyoming Line
OL's Senior Editor John Taranto traveled to the Montana/Wyoming borderland for the unique opportunity to take a whitetail and mule deer in one hunt.
On Election Day I traveled to the tiny Montana town of Alzada for a week of whitetail and mule deer hunting in southeastern Montana and northwestern Wyoming with Mike Watkins’ Trophies Plus Outfitters. Given the location of his outfit, Watkins offers his hunters a very unique opportunity: the chance to hunt quality, mature deer of two different species in two different states. Watkins leases approximately 140,000 acres of ranch land, about 70 percent of which is located in Montana. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

Congrats on the great bucks John, looks like beautiful country up there too.
Ignore the trolling posers below, they aren't fooling anyone.
"running straight away at 50 yards and about to disappear into the thick stuff" Obviously I wasn't there, but the way this passage is written, it sounds like a questionable shot at best and possibly one that should have been passed. If not for the fence, this might have been a difficult recovery.
I hope you didn't leave that lead filled heart for the scavengers. I am seeing more accounts in the literature of lead poisoned Bald Eagles and vultures. I have been shooting lead free for years and the deer and elk drop just fine.
