    Feeling discouraged.

    Sounds like you’re where you need to be. Hopefully checking wind all the time. Keep an eye on that bedding area from a distance, adjust your times and entry. Try coming in from a different way. They are there, but know you are too!! Be the cat not the mouse!! Good Luck, don’t get discouraged...

    montana preference point question

    I agree that it can be confusing at times. The preference point thing is a real money maker! They are banking on continued demand over supply and people reacting to it!! as for the refund, I believe that the 80% is only if you are offered the combo and turn it down due to not getting a permit...

    If you go up there, PM me. My folks live in the town just outside of the unit. I will be there in July and definitely would be willing to take a scouting trip. Archery is a great option!

    Montana Deer Permit - 455 vs. 270

    The main difference between the Beartooth and most general units in my opinion is when, not if!!! I will add though that if one does not like seeing other hunters, skip it. Loads of elk hunters, horses, trailers and wagons. With all of that said, I love the unit for the simple fact that it is...

    Montana Deer Permit - 455 vs. 270

    This is the buck that I eluded to in my earlier post! Shot 11/12/17 in 455. Like I stated earlier, definitely larger bucks in that unit, but this guy was a brute in person and I never regretted harvesting on a nearly once in a lifetime NR permit!

    Montana Deer Permit - 455 vs. 270

    I drew the 455-60 permit last year. Great hunt. A lot of elk hunters on horses, plenty of deer. I didn't see any mulies worthy of a general tag. I did harvest a nice WT and am very sure that there are much bigger in there. If you manage to draw the permit feel free to PM me and I will be happy...

Anyone that is not familiar with the structure and is preparing to purchase an elk combination or big game combo, be sure to read the PERMIT details for each HD that you are attempting to apply. Keep in mind, there are quite a few...

    Flatlander Coming West:cds question

    It's funny that the elevation CDS question comes up, I just spoke to Leupold on Monday regarding the exact concern. The custom shop rep told be that it is accurate to +/- 2000ft of what ever elevation you give them.

    Elk observation!!

    Ok, I truly love this forum! As a bona fide HT troller, I must share an observation that I am sure many of you share, but just aren't nearly as bored to squint and type!!! I have noticed an uptick in negativity in posts primarily as they pertain to Elk hunting. Tags are too limited, elk are hard...

    2017 MT whitetail

    Thanks guys. It was a tough call, a very limited draw HD and took him on day 2!! Spent the remaining 20 days chasing elk!! I had such an amazing time learning the habits of November elk that I am still on cloud nine! Unsuccessful in harvesting an elk, but learned so much through trial and error...

Took him with my old Remington 722 .257 Roberts. No great story, found him chasing does in a creek bottom, lost sight of...

    MT License sales predictions for 2018

    Last year the Elk Combo was not sold out in March, and was available after the draw. If I remember correctly I think 400+ still remained after the March 15 drawing results were sent out.

    MT License sales predictions for 2018

    Hi all, I think a lot of folks were surprised at last year's early sell out of Big Game Combo and Deer Combo license. Was wondering what everyone has predicted for the 2018 season? Will we se a repeat of last year or do you all think it will trend similarly to that of the 5 or 6 years prior to...
