Call the region headquarters most of the time you can get the phone number to the BMA. I've even seen where getting the map at the BMA or region headquarters had the phone listed but the online version did not.
Drew my A tag, no b tag. 2nd choice people drew as a 3rd choice last year, ouch. Interested to see if they cut back there or was an increase in apps, maybe both.
Just got new ABB strings on from Straight 6 in Bozeman a couple weeks ago, I'm not sure if it was 7 days from when I ordered to when I got my bow back. Super fast.
We're going to Fairbanks in Aug and none of the car rentals had anything and my friend mentioned Turo. Never used it before, but he got us a rig. Basically the airbnb for cars.
Have fun! The Main is a great river trip. If you like fishing I'd bring a pole for smallmouth, my friend caught quite a few with a spincasting setup, especially the lower you get. The bigger side streams can be good for trout, but at that time of year might be really low water and may not be as...
Congrats on the tag! I put in for it as well, but apparently didn't draw, good luck!

Just watched the first episode last night, I'm a fan of Clay's, I'd put money on him. I didn't watch it on the history channel website, but it looks like you can watch the episode on there.
Yep, 100% public in a unit in the breaks. We were only there for 3 days so my experience was very limited, maybe we got lucky, but our experience sounds very similar to others chiming in here.
Have to agree with the others. I got to take part in a breaks hunt last year opening weekend. My buddy got a heck of a bull. Multiple bulls in the 300 range. Probably the most fun elk hunt I've been on. Come back and let us know how it goes for you.
