Greetings from Georgia. I recently purchased a combo license for Montana and was hoping someone might be able to give me a little direction for elk this upcoming archery season.
Based on the research I've done so far, it appears that the SW corner of MT might be best for me since I don't mind rough terrain and it appears to have a fairly consistent elk population. However, I also understand that this has probably narrowed my prospects to about 5,000 square miles or so....
That said I thought I'd ask advice as I'd hate to add to any existing problems (hunting pressure, private landowners, decreased elk populations, etc.), and give myself the best chance for success (hopefully, for a large/mature bull) this season. I'm not looking for any "secret spots". Just somewhere an honest guy (who knows how to hunt) can maximize his odds.
Thanks for any help!
