Montana Elk Management Survey Results

Montana antelope draw results
Your comment doesn't make sense. How would having less hunters in a unit cause there to be no animals on public? less hunters= less pressure.- Badlandcat

Montana antelope draw results
No, we can't back in time. But we can go back to individual unit tags not region wide tags. That would help everyone, public land pressure, landowner hunter fatigue and allow the tag holders to have a more enjoyable experience.- Badlandcat
