Well my fellow hunters and huntress' another season has come to a close. It was an outstanding year for big game hunting in Montana. According to FWP Region 2 Information & Education Program Manager, Vivica Crowser, it was " higher numbers than last season of hunter trips, harvested animals and percentages of hunters with game in west-central Montana. Elk and mule deer harvests were higher than last year, but white-tailed deer harvest tapered off in the last weekend to dip slightly below last year’s tally through the three hunter check stations in west-central Montana." We could tell there was a higher than normal percentage of successful hunts this season, since launching this year's Horn Porn back in September. A steady flow of successful hunting photos poured into our website, and with each one adding excitement to our season.

If you are like me, you had a long season full of memories and a freezer NOT full of meat. Its okay, as statistics show that 85% of Montana hunters will not fill a tag in any given year. Giving the 15% that do, a reason to brag. Check out some great photos from the field, with this year's Horn Porn "Bragging Board" gallery.

Everyone who submitted a photo to this year's gallery, will be put into a random drawing for a Ruger American .308 rifle from our friends at Selway Armory. As well as gift certificates to Big Sky Beetleworks.

We are HAPPY to announce the WINNER of the Ruger American .308 Rifle from Selway Armory is Nick Gonzalez. Nick filled his river bottom deer tag with his archery equipment and was fortunate enough to have his family on hand to continue Montana's amazing hunting legacy.

We also reached into our pool of successful hunters/huntresses, and drew a winner of a gift certificate to Big Sky Beetleworks. Sierrra Smith bagged a beautiful whitetail buck that would look great mounted on the wall.
