Sam06 question
You mentioned in another thread living near Glasgow. Were you stationed at the SAC base there?
We were there in 61-63 while my dad was assigned to the 13th Fighter Interceptor Squadron while it was still flying the Minot Air Defense sector. He was one of the F-101 Voodoo medicine men.
Very COLD and WINDY up there on the highline!

No it was before I joined the Army. I went there to work on a friend of mines ranch. We lived just north of Ft Peck Reservoir. I loved to hunt back then and got my fill but man was it cold in the winter.
I think that base is closed down and its a small town now.

Glasgow is on the edge of being a ghost town, but there are still people hanging on.
Fort Peck Reservoir is a great fishing destination- trout, lake trout, walleyes and pike. It's a little bit far for me to go there ice fishing, so I try to keep it local.

It does have great fishing same with the Milk River. Back when I was there 1980-81, no one hunted white tails and they were huge all along the Milk and the breaks. I even shot what they called a mule tail deer, a cross between a muley and a white tail.
I carried a Rem 788 in 6mm Rem everywhere I went and that rifle killed more stuff. Porcupines, badgers, coyotes, Mule deer, white tails, Antelope, I could have filled a train car with the critters I shot with that gun. I hand loaded ammo for it and it had a fixed 6x Burris scope. It was my 1st attempt at glass beding and it came out good. I still have that old gun. I think I paid $100 for it used at a gun shop in Havre. I shot it so much it was like an extension of me, I hardly ever missed.
Last time I was back was in 1991. I went Deer hunting with my friends, we camped out hunted deer, it was a good time
