Non resident hunting advice

No offense, but if your Bozeman resident BIL is skipping out of Montana on Thanksgiving week, the last week of gun season, that indicates alot.
Hire a guide.
Dude could be a killer and know he won’t need all 12 weeks

Well, that’s what he’s telling me at least 😳…I have definitely decided to purchase additional points and enter in the drawing…what happens afterwards is still to be determined, but regardless will only have a few days to hunt…

Stranger things have happened…I shot and missed my targeted 150+ deer in September and smoked him with my smoke pole in December…all you need is to be in the right place at the right time, plus a lot of luck and bam.It all can come together in seconds. I’ll take what I can get this trip and gain some experience and knowledge for the next longer trip god willing of course.

That is a good attitude which may allow better enjoyment of your trip. 'Couple of points:

1. Like busy opening day, Thanksgiving is the "last hurrah" as it is the holiday at end of season, so the woods will be full of desperate hunters.
2. As someone who has lived in Montana my whole life, beginning elk hunting made me think that elk were mythical creatures conjured up to sell hunting gear. It took much boot leather, scouting, experience, and knowledge before becoming successful at harvesting elk consistently.

Just decide to enjoy Montana and get out to hike and see nice country. Good luck to you.
