Cody; "Just do it!" :>) MT dogs are still a problem for ranchers all over the NE parts of MT and coffee shops, post offices, gas stations in really small towns
contain people who know people - and a bit of polite conversation is about all that's needed to get referrals to places to inquire...before you know it you'll
have contacts too. My first trip 2 of us stopped along a highway and chatted up a guy fixing fence. An hour later we were established and shooting at a
place several miles down the road.
PDs are above ground from April through early November that I KNOW of. According to the Interweb they breed in March, nurse through April and the babies
start foraging on their own in May. So far, May is the earliest I've ever seen babies above ground so I tend to agree.
By the end of June all the PDs are about the same size, days are long and relatively mild and the roads tend to be dry...all my rancher contacts have recommended
"late June" as the time to show up.
Weather in April-May is often brutal; hail so large and hard it left bruises on my legs and battered the finish off my rifle and I almost couldn't see well enough to return
to the truck that had its lights on! October can be cold and snowy one day, warm the next. It is what it is. October, the rattlesnakes den up too, so they're moving around
to get 'home' and you can walk into a BUNCH of them in one area.
Last month's camp - nice day before, decent weather for 2 weeks after.
