Today, when I walked our Chessie on the 15-acre parcel I co-own with Trae and 2 others I stopped dead in stride. Before me as clear as can be was a fresh set of mountain lion tracks. I was glad to have my dog with me. I scanned every tree, but didn't see the cougar. A couple of months ago it was a grizzly back there. Kinda keeps you on your toes!
Back in the late 90's I worked as a biological technician on the Flying "D" for Turner. I had a lab named Isaac that I used to hunt the Madison river islands down stream of Blacks Ford. There were a lot of wild pheasants on those islands back then. We used to do a "cast and blast" down that way too at times. Man! Those were good times! I do miss the way of life out there. Unless you've lived it, it is hard to explain.
BTW there used to be a sports bar right off campus in Bozeman called Spectators, does it still exist? I had the dubious honor of being the only Bengals fan from '98-02 that watched every game there. The bartender that was a Colts fan would always remind of that. He told me one time a guy asked if they had every game on and not only did he say every game but he told him that they even had a Bengal fan that comes every Sunday.
Anyhow, thanks for bringing back some memories.
