    Looking for paid access in 411 or 535

    Well, thx for the replies. My pockets probably aren't deep enough but I'm pretty good at fencing so I'm sure the N-Bar will be happy to make a deal with me 🙄. I'll figure something out somehow.

    Looking for paid access in 411 or 535

    My email name is 400orbust which is why I used that as my handle here. Do I expect to ever get a 400 bull? No. I don't. The point is I'm going to hunt elk until I can't. Neither did I ask where to hunt a 400" bull. I simply asked if there is paid access in these units that anyone knows...

    2024 Draw results

    I started another thread but maybe this is better here? I drew a 411-20 tag and am interested in finding paid access ranches to hunt on in either of those units. I plan to archery hunt but be picky and then rifle hunt if need be. I'm accomplished and capable so not really interested in a...

    I drew a 411-20 tag and am interested in finding paid access ranches to hunt on in either of those units. I plan to archery hunt but be picky and then rifle hunt if need be. I'm accomplished and capable so not really interested in a guided experience but could be talked into one if the...

    2019 Montana General Elk Recommendations

    Welcome to the forum, I'm new also around here. My 2 cents is to not be concerned about other hunters. Even if you pull into a campground and there are 6 rigs there everybody seems to spread out and you have plenty of space. Opportunities tend to be fairly abundant in region 3 and I agree...

    I agree with you for the most part, but some people do know what true numbers are. I do realize there is a lot of skepticism when numbers are thrown around and I'm no different.

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    It was a very close relative and he doesn't want the pic on the internet, and he didn't put it in the books so I can offer no proof to you. I understand without proof it is just words on a page. My point was that there are bulls in that category still out there on public land. Yes it was a...

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    I grew up on elk meat and that is ultimately my goal every year. However I'm very fortunate in my job that I can devote several weeks each year to hunt so sometimes I get picky until my last week. A few of my bulls have been over 300, the largest being 330. Last year I ended up with a one...

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    I was trying to quote an above message re: where Chuck Adams got his bulls but haven't figured out how to do that yet. Anyways, I think he got those bulls prior to the 900 permit being in place, not that that changes anything. Also, I agree with those of you about the 900 permit but I guess I...

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    I appreciate the discussion. Bulls of that caliber are around. I have two relatives, both MT residents, that have each killed true 380 bulls on accessible public land within the last 4 years (one was bitterroot valley other was central MT). And another guy I know that got a 375 bull same way...

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    Talk2elk...thanks for the info on 380. That is inline with the perception I've found elsewhere. SE and breaks may be where I focus. I have seen some bulls of the quality I'm looking for around Ft. Peck but that was deer hunting 8-10 years ago and haven't been back since. I do know there...

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    I disagree a little. Yes access has a lot to do with it but having a rifle tag in low draw permit area with proven large bulls is a significant difference over a general area.

    Montana Bull Elk Point Burn

    Thanks for buffer zone description. The 10% non-resident cap is per unit and it actually says "up to 10%". In looking at draw statistics in many units the non-resident permits often are only 8-9%. Also, I *think* a unit has to have at least 25 (maybe it was 35) permits in order for there to...
