I am planning a rifle elk hunt this fall to MT in the southwest, I have it narrowed down to a few HD 321,329,331 or 332. I was on the MT FWP website looking into BMA around those hunt districts and didn't realize how many BMAs there are some of them look really awesome for not just hunting on the BMA but also unlocking more public land to hunt. I noticed some type 2 BMAs that offer veteran preference on veteran's day and it just works out that we were planning on hunting over that time. Myself and another guy out of our group of 5 are veterans and I am thinking about maybe taking a day and hunting one of the BMAs if we can get in. Many of them have a number to call to reserve a date for your hunt. Just wondering when people would typically call, I don't want to call now before we even know if we drew a combo tag and I don't want to let it go too late and miss out on an opportunity to hunt in a good place. Also just wondering what people's experiences are from hunting on BMAs or any recommendation in general as far as they go. Thanks!
