Missouri Breaks cow hunt

[Curt R]

I have a cow tag for units 620-22, 630-32. I need a little help with strategy. I am coming all the way from Florida and am limited to 7-10 days.

I hunted 621 last year for muleys and elk were very sparse. Should I plan on hunting the beginning, middle, or end of rifle season? Recommendations on which unit I should concentrate on? Thanks for any recs!

Rifle or Bow?

Rifle, so the CM Russel wildlife refuge is off limits.

Why is the CMR off limits?

Why is the CMR off limits?

A lot of the B tags in that area are not valid on the CMR

Honestly, it's not going to be rocket surgery. You should have little to no trouble finding elk. Get near timber, find a high point, look around. If that doesn't work, find a different high point near different timber. Do that 2 or 3 times and you'll find cow elk.

I am assuming you drew the 699-00 tag, which is the B tag valid only Dec 15- Dec 31. It has been my experience that by that time of year elk are in large bunches... like 200+. Where you find one elk you should easily find lots. I have spent a lot of time in 621 and 622. PM me and I can give you some areas to scope out.

It is the 698-00 tag, regular rifle season Oct-21 to Nov-26.
