Hello Everyone!
My wife and I went to Wyoming to hunt antelope this year for the first time and had a blast. I posted pictures of our hunt in the picture forum! We are now in the process of planning a mule deer hunt for 2017. I am wanting to know what everyones thought are regarding hunting Wyoming in early to mid Octover vs Montana mid to late November? We are looking for areas with good succes rates and a chance at seeing some bucks. I am leaning more towards Montana because i believe the mule deer will be rutting at this time?
I also had a question regarding access to BMA's in Montana. How does one get permission to hunt these lands and is there a certain date people can sign up or when do people generally sign up? I also remember reading somewhere on this site that you should print the BMA maps before they are deleted and reposted in August of next year. Is my memory correct or am i completely incorrect?
If anyone has any other advise or recommendations, please let me know. We can't wait to get back out there!
Thanks!
