If your trapping take your firearm.
I missed out one year on a chance at a book buck.
Didn't pack the rifle.
I don't know what hunting condition is like in Montana but here by the time I got a rifle out, in cases, vehicle parked and off, rifle loaded the deer would be so far in the swamp you wouldn't stand a chance. I definitely don't walk at all during the firearm deer war, not the first weekend anyhow. To many citiots around here on state land.
