I used to hunt Lewistown but then tv shows and magazine articles came out about it so too many people for me now. I like the town but I am more used to places where you don't see any other hunters for days on end

Great slabs of cow at Harry's Place on the east side of town. Way more than I can eat and my dogs eat well.

Edgar I haven't noticed any difference in performance. The Trail Boss powder takes up more room than you'd expect.

Bruce,
I understand about your thoughts on Lewiston as that is how us Arizona Mearn's Quail hunters feel about Sonita and Patagonia. I can't believe the invasion of out-of-states hunters hitting Sonita/Patagonia in January. I hunted that area for 25 years before I ever saw a out of state hunter, oh well I guess it's called progress.

Not to be a 'wise guy' but Lewiston is in Idaho and Lewistown is in Montana. Sorry about the comment, but I used to live in Fergus county and could not help myself. Mark

I fully understand and commiserate with you about more and more hunters invading our favorite areas. When I first started hunting a little section of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom in the late 50's and early 60's we were "outastaters" or "flatlanders" but after hunting there for the last almost sixty years I am considered 'one of the community or fraternity' of local hunters and I truly enjoy and cherish the trust and friendship of those good folks.
I hunted my home state of Massachusetts in my teens but when the pheasant population disappeared I had to find someplace where I could satisfy my lust for bird hunting and deer hunting so I became an "out o' stater". I had no choice - there were no longer any places to hunt in eastern MA and no real game or gamebirds to hunt. I went to Vermont where my Dad and I were invited and welcomed. A lot of folks just need to hunt other states if they want to hunt at all.

Now, more and more people are "invading" our special places in VT too... I can't really blame them.
