You Won’t Strike Out When Hunting With Central
Montana Outfitters
I Found a Couple of Them
 Editor’s
Note: I love to do any type of hunting. I’ve learned
many years ago that some of the biggest white-tailed
deer in the nation live in the Northwest. And, although
I love to hunt mule deer, I truly enjoy hunting big
whitetails.
A good friend of mine, Chad Schearer of Central Montana
Outfitters talked last spring about my coming out and
hunting with him. When I told him, “Chad, I saw
some big whitetails when I was out with y’all
two years ago,” and then asked, “Have you
still got any large whitetails left?” Schearer
answered that, “I’m sure we do. I’ll
keep an eye on them during the late summer and early
fall and let you know how many and what size whitetails
our area has.” A few weeks before my November,
2006 trip, Schearer called and explained, “John,
I’ve spotted two white-tailed bucks that will
score 150 poin ts
or better Boone & Crockett. I believe I can get
you within muzzle-loader range. I’ll have a Connecticut
Valley Arms (CVA) Optima Elite for you to hunt with,
and you should be able to take this big whitetail with
a .45 caliber PowerBelt bullet. I’ll have everything
you’ll need when you arrive. You may even take
one of those bucks on the first day you hunt.”
Well, as I’ve mentioned, I love to hunt. I asked
Schearer, “If I take that buck on the first-morning’s
hunt, then what will I do for the other 4-1/2-day?”
Schearer said, “Plenty. You can hunt Hungarian
partridge and pheasant in the CRP land we have, or,
coyotes on any of our land. If you want to get an antelope
tag, you can hunt them, too. So, don’t worry.
There’s plenty for you to do on one of our hunts.
The good news is that if you don’t get your white-tailed
buck after four days of hunting, and you decide to take
a mule deer buck instead, your deer tag is good for
either whitetails or mule deer. That means  you
don’t have to bring any guns out here with you
because I’ll have a .12-gauge barrel, a .243 barrel,
a .270 barrel and a .45 caliber muzzleloader barrel
here for you that you can swap out on the Optima Elite.
All you have to do with this new CVA gun is change the
barrels, depending on what you want to hunt. Too, I
have scopes on all the Optima Elite barrels. Does life
get any simpler than this?”
I don’t know about you, but I really hate when
I go hunting to complete a hunt and have to sit around
 camp
and wait on others to complete their hunts. When I go
on a hunt, I want to be hunting for something all the
time. When I leave my work for a week, I want to cram
as much hunting as possible into my time away. So, when
Schearer told me about all the critters I could hunt
and take when I hunted with Central Montana Outfitters,
I could hardly wait for the day to arrive when I would
leave to fly there. The last thing Schearer explained
was, “John, you should see a goodly number of
white-tailed bucks. You’ll have several chances
at bucks that will score from 100- 120 B&C, if you
want to bag a smaller buck than the two 150s I’ve
mentioned.”
