Montana State University Hunting Oppurtunities

[Slick]

For sure there are plenty of opportunities in Bozeman! I am a Junior there now and have had no trouble getting into the hills for lots of different game. Hyalite canyon is literally at the end of 19th street and has many many miles of roads and trails to check out. We hunt a lot of grouse up there, as well as deer if you are willing to walk. Tough elk hunting but I do know where there are a few wallows that have elk regularly. Heck it is even a part of an Unlimited sheep hunting district, with rams to be found up there. Also, there are a few public land areas in Belgrade as well (different town but basically connected to Bman) with antlerless whitetail tags available. Most of the valley is weapons restricted (shotgun, bow, muzzleloader, etc...) but that isn't a big deal. I certainly feel it is a hunter and fisherman's paradise especially if you can travel just a little bit! If you ever need help we are always willing to help incoming MSU students however we can.

Hyalite is not an unlimited district. - it's closed to sheep hunting. That being said, lots of great advice above. You can be hunting in almost all directions within a 15-20min drive. You'll make friends that have similar interests, and hunttalk members will also be willing- I'm assuming. Best of luck on all your adventures. Bozeman is a great town for a young man.

Slick, you are right I had my wires crossed and was thinking Hellroaring, Hyalite is most certainly closed for sheep hunting!

Hellroaring isn't OTC either.

There's more than one Hellroaring.

If you are from a rural backround or Ag major, check out Fraternity rush. Seriously. You can always decline a bid.

Even though I am a Farmhouse alum, I'm betting you would find some hunting brothers in the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity on Campus.

I hunted a lot with my brothers. We rented locker space, and had chest freezers in the house.

Within biking distance of MSU?

Just be cautious those elk herds grazing like cattle under pivots surrounding Bozeman are most defiantly on Private Lands . .
