Hunting SE Montana

[dihardhunter]

Yep, decade or so ago, perhaps again...soon?

So many hunts, so little time...

 

[JMG]

I have hunted there in the past (spring turkey and deer) and may go back.

 

[BruinPoint]

I was planning to this year but that changed...

 

[Bulldog0156]

I've hunted the area once, not including for antelope. There are better places in the state to chase deer with a lot more elbow room.

 

[RobG]

This will be another place that is so crowded that nobody will go there anymore.

 

[BigHornRam]

Never have, never will. Why drive 10 hours when there is so much mountain mule deer country close by that seldom sees a boot track?

 

[Khunter]

I may be there this year for the first time. Finally got off the dime and put in for MT elk/deer combo for first time and have about zero chance on the limited deer tag I put in for.

I have never hunted SE Montana but may someday!

 

[LCH]

I'll be in the eastern 1/2 of Montana with a deer tag. I'll probably start in Region 7 and work my way up to Region 6, solo, sleeping in the truck until I get into some decent hunting.

I've really liked the looks of some areas to the far NW that I've bear hunted in, especially for whitetails, but I doubt I'll make it that far.

Ive been there got some nice bucks out of there . They werent booners but very respectable. A lot of road hunters and idiots makes parking your rig and hiking a little scary I was wondering if our camp or trucks are gonna get pillaged the whole time out hunting . I'm going back as I'm from California and dont have many points to get drawn any where else . Kinda sucks to start hunting later in life and learning from scratch . But I still love every second of it .

I have hunted SE MT abou t5 years, and will continue to waste my time because I 'know' that one of those many mediocre bucks I saw last year, will be big this year.

but they won't

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.

 

[brownbear932008]

Never have and probably never will. I think there are better much less populated areas in MT.

 

[HSi-ESi]

I have hunted SE Montana for many years and plan to return.

Mainly because I have family in the area. I will most likely just hit it during archery.

unless I draw my breaks ram tag.

 

[muledeerjunkie]

I have hunted SE Montana in 2015 and plan to return.

 

[mountain monster]

I have hunted there and will be back (because I know the area )

 

[Jasher]

Never been and at the price of the tags don't think I will be going. I can get 2 deer tags in Wyoming for the price of one in montana.

And hunt over the rut ? And get 11 weeks to choose your trip ? And have access to as much public land ? I still say the montana deer and elk gen tags are good tags . Pricey yes but flexible

You're right if you're happy to pay a stupid price to hunt, anytime for 11 weeks, with a crowd of others, for a whacked out mismanaged population of deer. Being easy to please is a prerequisite to being excited to hunt most of MT, especially SE MT. I'll be hunting mule deer in WY this year.

 

[Jasher]

You can hunt mule deer in the rut in Wyoming region a which is the north east corner. Since I can only get away from home to hunt 1 week and year I don't need the 11 weeks. Maybe for a resident it's really nice since you are already there and the tags are way cheaper. I was going to go to wyoming this year to hunt deer but my dad who is almost 70 wanted to go elk hunting so we are going to colorado.

 

[Highground]

Never hunted it. Dont have any plans too either.
