Re: Prophet River/Sleeping Chief Area?
Been more than 10 years but used to trail horses up Bat creek, trail was hard to find along the prophet but went up the river a ways (there is an small outfitter cabin, most of the way to the mountains, you can see it on satellite maps). Was on horses in July when we crossed the prophet but usually we were swimming them across. Was not paying much attention to how much water there was on bat compared to what a boat needs. Trail was blazed only going out. Once we hit the mountains at that time there were game, saw some goats from the trail. Again we were moving horses and not hunting. I also know things have changed up in that country in regards to game numbers compared to 10 years ago.
I am all for helping those who want to get after it. Lots of effort anytime you venture into the north country.
