We used to hunt a bit in Porcupine creek, off the east end of the base. There's a road out the back. But I don't know if it's private or not.

craigd: That sounds so-much like the world I grew up in. Very nonchalant about hunting where and when you could in rural 1960s Pennsylvania. There will likely be security issues on the site so everything will have to be after hours and during downtime on weekends, hopefully.

It has been my experience that getting permission to hunt on private land will be very difficult, especially if you are deemed an outsider. The more people in the party the harder it will be.

If you want to PM me, I can give you a few suggestions.

Good luck.

Good to see you around Chuck.

Chuck H: Are these the trout ponds you mentioned earlier?

YouTube can be a surprising resource for some pretty obscure places...

Also, in meetings discussing the work, it was mentioned that Sovereign Citizens are regularly encountered up there. Easily identified by the lack of licence plates on their vehicles. They have been, evidently, very curious about the preliminary surveys already going on there. We were instructed to be cautious but open about the work we would be performing.

If you find water and you find crop you will find more pheasants then you can imagine. The biggest problem years ago was getting your limit of pheasants before your dog got in a good workout.

Hey Lloyd, I don't know about that infomercial, but that 'pond' looks pretty much like a prairie pothole. You'll see ducks on small water like that, keep an eye on the weather, any decent Canadian front will push them down. You may not run into too many traditional crop fields, but lots of hay/wheat fields. I bet you'd see pheasant around water like that. If it's legal season and a legal hunting area, that kid wouldn't care for a second if you walked by with a shotgun and waived hi. If it's not restricted, that's also the kind of area you can idle along in a truck and shoot gophers, though the grass is high now and it's a bit warm.

It's been dry, a little bit of a fire type season going on in much of MT, the critters will also seek out the water. It may not look it, but there was some moose in the area that're probably still around. Don't worry too much about any compound types, mostly just good ole boys that will keep to themselves, don't hoot and holler in the bars about how the Colorado women could kick their arses. You could consider not washing your vehicles, after a rain or two and some dusty wind, you can't read company logos and out of state lic. plates, folks will be small town curious.

The kids does pretty good considering he's using his spinning rig upside down.
