Hello everyone I am coming up to Montana this coming week for my first hunt in the state. I am planning on hunting region 7 for whitetail (yes I am aware that numbers are down). I am really just planning on having a good experience in the state and exploring some new country and having a chance at a whitetail is just a plus. I do have a General tag as well as a doe tag to try to fill and will be there for a week or so depending on the hunt. I am driving up from western Wyoming and plan on truck bed camping to stay mobile. I am also making a couple quick stops on the way to hunt pheasant and chuckar as well as drop some capes off with taxidermist.
The current plan is to just bounce around on public land and maybe the odd type 1 BMA (too late to the party for anything decent in the type 2). I am not going with the intentions of trying to kill the biggest buck around I just want a good hunt. I know that finding a whitetail on public may be easier said than done but I am not afraid to put on the miles and hours behind the spotter to get it done. If all else fails I can always hunt mulies (don't want to) or drop back down and hunt the black hills of Wyoming for Whitetails.
Anyways I will post back once I return, looking forward to exploring some new areas and seeing what I can turn up.
PS Posts with no pics are no fun so here is a pic from a past pheasant hunt on the same property I am going to hunt on Saturday.
