The “Realtree Outdoors” episode that aired yesterday (July 15) on ESPN2 was one of my favorites that will air the entire year. Why? Well, it was virgin country for the Realtree cameras and the action was unbelievable!
John Tate and I were hunting with Rich Birdsell, of Northern Rockies Outfitters, and I can assure you that the place Rich has to bowhunt in north-central Montana was awesome! A true bowhunter’s paradise!
The first afternoon that I hunted, after waiting for the wind to be favorable, I slipped down into a creek bed, quietly hung my stand and proceeded to watch close to 30 bucks parade by me before I arrowed a gorgeous 141” 10-pointer right at dusk. John Tate followed it up a few days later with his very first Pope & Young buck, a massive 10 pointer grossing about 135”.
This is the same place I visited a couple weeks ago to hang stands for the upcoming hunt there this fall. Also, a couple of video blogs have been posted from out there as well, and we still have a few more to come.
I was pumped about the response Rich would get from the airing of the television show. Bowhunters, I knew, would absolutely fall in love with this place!
But guess what? Rich did not receive a single phone call!
Why?
Inadvertently, one digit was transposed wrong at the end of the show. In other words, the WRONG number was given for Northern Rockies Outfitters! How embarrassing is that?
You don’t even want to know!
Well, we got hammered here at Realtree.com from hunters who wanted to talk to Rich. So here it is, the CORRECT number: (406) 756-2544.
Sorry, we’ll do better. Thanks for watching!

David,
Congrats to John Tate and your bucks. I have yet to see an episode because I have been really busy on the weekends. Will y'all show them on the web site?
God Bless & Good Huntin'

Hey DB,
I thought the hunts were awesome and thanks for the correct info. I'm sure that all of us understand that as human beings we all make mistakes. So having said that, dont worry about it. Thanks
