I'll be visiting MT next weekend searching for a pronghorn and mule deer. The last time I hunted in MT was probably 25 years ago with my father when I was about 14.
I was lucky enough to draw a non-resident antelope tag on my first try with zero points. To say I'm excited is an understatement! I have no experience with pronghorn. I'm used to hunting whitetail in MN (in shotgun zone no less).
I'll be hunting in region 7. I'm not asking for anyone's pin-point pronghorn paradise, but are there areas within region 7 that are usually better than others? Feel free to message me if you prefer.
What I'm really looking to learn is general hunting strategies. I'm guessing there's a lot of time spent in a vehicle. Are they still in rut right now? Do they stick close to water sources or can they go longer between drinks?
Thanks!
Rick
