Hi everyone... I'm new to the group and of course I'm confused and unfamiliar with how this all works HOWEVER I do have Montana's for sale. Rough, various sizes ranging from 2-5+ lbs. I live within a mile of the Yellowstone River in Sidney Montana and almost all of the collection is from the river. I'm heading out there today, wish me luck and happy hunting. I will post some pics this evening. Thx  |

I hope you have a LOT of them! They are kinda popular 'round here.  ETA: Lots of folks here sell by packing a box to see what will fit in. Post pictures of each box and give a price (and maybe weight in this case). |

Post pictures of each box and give a price (and maybe weight in this case). Even if you dont have a big scale to weigh the whole box, you can get use a food scale and weigh them individually as you load a Medium Flat Rate Box or a Large FRB and once no more will fit thats your final weight. Add the price of a MFRB or LFRB and theres a price to go by. Hope this helps too. |

Anything in excess of two 55 gallon drums full would qualify as "A lot"  Several years ago, I had a chance to buy that many old stock Montana's at 50 cents a pound. If I had not have been planning a move across several States, I would have snagged every one of 'em! |
