Elk hunting spot for archery general tag in Montana

[jore07]

Hey guys, I am a new archery hunter this year looking for an elk area in Montana that might give me a decent chance at harvesting. I am from Montana just not familiar with the earlier season archery brings. I am hoping for some comments or opinions on where a decent place/district might be to try. I just have a general season tag. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Eric

For numbers, hard to beat the Big Belts and Little Belts. Bridgers has lots of elk, too. None are known for lunkers, but shouldn't be hard to find elk in those areas.

Thank You. Your advice is much appreciated. I am actually fairly familiar with a portion of the Little Belts. I'll have to get out and give a try (if work ever gives way). Anyone know on how the rut is firing up in that area?
