East Fork Camp Pulls Off High Success
Montana has seen a rough year with deer numbers at some of the lowest numbers we have ever seen. Talking to many sportsman and ranch owners the deer are being lost to high predator numbers and a rough last years winter, also possible blue tongue in some areas. Our Central Montana camp East Fork, has been no exception. Due to lower bookings this season Howie and the crew managed to pull off a normal high success once again. We do expect to see deer numbers rebound as this can be a normal cycle. As always we do not hunt the does from this camp and this season the number of bucks harvested was much lower due to fewer hunters during the general season. Next year we will plan to cut numbers of bucks harvested during the archery season and possibly in the general rifle season also. We plan to ride out the storm and manage this camp as always.

"Do What You Belive In"
"It's not the critic who counts, nor the observer who watches from a safe distance. Wealth is created only by doers in the arena who are marred with dirt, dust, blood and sweat. These are the producers who strike out on their own, who know high highs and low lows, great devotions, and who overextend themselves for worthwhile causes. Without exception, then fail more than they succeed and appreciate this reality even before venturing out on their own. But when these producers fail, they at least fail with style and grace , and their gut soon recognizes that failure is only a resting place, not a place to spend a lifetime. Their places will never be with those nameless souls who know neither victory nor defeat, who receive weekly paychecks regardless of their week's performance, who are hired hands in the labor of someone else's garden. Those doers are producers and no matter what their lot is at any given moment, they'll never take place beside the takers, for theirs is a unique place, under the sun. They are entrepreneurs."
(Joseph R. Mancuso)
