(Changing from location in bio) Ouch!
I have hunted SE MT a couple years. First year was great for numbers. Second (2021) was not and it was bad. We were in NE WY the year before that (2020) and they were in tough shape at that time. Drove through WY last year to the bighorns and numbers from...
SE Montana is in the hurt bag bad. Just came back from a trip out there. Numbers are slim to none in the open country where three years ago you would see tons of deer everyday. There are some deer to be found around the rivers and ag fields….mainly private. Bad drought the last few years and EHD...
Tons of land to hunt in these two areas. Pick whether you want to stay in the forest or open country. Lots of deer and little bucks. Would be a very fun hunt for a youth to do. Like others said, don't expect to see a 4-5 yr old buck on public. Do you have any points built up? Draw odds have been...
Went to Unit A again this year - buck activity and sightings were way down from the year before. We had five guys out there and we were spread out throughout the unit. We all ended up shooting bucks and also 4 does. The last day of the season seemed to be the day the bucks starting really...
Hey Guys,
Looking at doing a west river SD hunt this year, I currently have 2pts and looks like quite a few areas I should have a good shot at getting drawn. Does any one have experience in any of these zones: 31A, 49A, 49B, 50A, or 53C? Would prefer to bag a Muley but would never pass up a...
Did you end up hunting WY? If so, what unit? Two of us went out there mid/late Nov and hunted Region A. My friend shot a pretty decent 3x3 and I shot a messed up rack whitetail on the last evening. Saw tons of deer, mainly private land but saw a good amount on public also. Fun hunt.
You will see lots of guys on the roads. Very few get out of the truck unless they are ready to pull the trigger. This was my experience in region A last year. Get out and go over the hill, you will see much more animals. Also get OnX if you don't have it. Good luck.
We put up shop on BLM land last year just off the road. We could step out of our tent and be hunting thousands of acres without driving anywhere if we wanted. The designated camping spots in the Custer in early September were pretty well spoken for when we went out there on a scouting trip. We...
