    Montana Non-Resident Elk hunting Questions

    You must APPLY for a general elk tag to be considered for a limited entry draw tag. The application for the general elk tag uses preference points.

    Excellent write up! I appreciate the fact that you didn’t want a ”gimme putt”. You put in your time and effort and were rewarded with a couple of beautiful animals. Well done sir!

    Rotator cuff surgery

    Well, that stinks. Maybe there is a short term positive of being able to hunt this fall? I am 10 -11 weeks into recovery and it’s a slow process. Good luck John!

    Rotator cuff surgery

    John, how did your surgery go? Were they able to just scope it? The first few weeks of my recovery time were spent watching all of Randy’s shows. The episode with Gerald, his boys and yourself is still one of my faves. Thank you for your service and I hope your recovery is going well!

    $4 Refund from Montana?

    I was successful in drawing a Big Game Combo, unsuccessful for Elk Permit. In the mail today I received a check for $4 from the FWP refund department. I will probably give them a call Monday to inquire. Anybody else or any ideas?

    Honest opinion on taking the month off work for elk season? Please help!!

    Sounds to me like you’re more “responsible” than most at an especially young age as well! When you do have a family, you will really question responsibilities and whether or not it’s “okay” to take that time off. Do it now, while you can and while your responsibilities mainly only affect...

    The Montana Deer/Elk Draw Week

    Yes, you can either bow hunt with your Matthews in your special permit area(s). And/or rifle hunt in 1 or more of many general tag areas of the state. Congrats on your bucket list tags! Thank you for your service!

    MT National Forest Parking

    I asked this same question to a MT biologist and was told that I could park and camp off road pretty much anywhere within a reasonable distance off road. I specifically asked if 100 ft from a road was a reasonable distance and was told yes. I would call and chat with the local biologist. They...

    Rotator cuff surgery

    This is an understatement for sure!! Week 5 seems like regressing and not progressing. Definitely a marathon, not a sprint I guess.
