Opinion on MT Missouri River Breaks Special Rifle Tags (worth the bonus points?)

[EYJONAS!]

Boats and Planes are irrelevant anymore up there IMO, like muley states. There's a 1000 others with boats and what good is a plane going to get you? Unless you hunt a couple specific units and if you did get that tag I wouldn't be putting all my eggs in the "breaks" portion of it.......

Strong legs and horses are going to be your best friend and even then, it will be tough to find a true monster in there. There is a ton of elk, lots of bulls, lots of opportunity.....

Yep. mtmuley

Plane won't be of any help. In my opinion, the boat minimal. Couple ways to go about it. Locate a shooter before the opener. Pretty tough. Hunt the last couple weeks. Weather could be a factor. mtmuley

I thought if I draw we’d use it to fly the district in the preseason just to get a lay of the land and drop some pins. Not planning on finding one and naming it, because I am not retarded.

I’d recommend if you find a good bull I’d kill it as soon as you can. Window shopping isn’t a good idea up there as there are so many deer hunters that there’s a good chance your bull gets bumped and ends up miles away.

Elk sure can cover country in those districts.......

I’m applying for a breaks rifle tag this fall and will continue to do so, but with that said hunting elk in the Missouri Breaks is a hunt I’ve always wanted to do. I’m going to keep applying until I draw. If I don’t kill a giant that’s ok. Just something I’ve always wanted to do.

This. I’d spend the entire week before rifle season scouting and plan killing the bull you want when shooting light hits legal.

Edit: if I didn’t care how big of a bull I killed I’d probably just spend as much time out there as I could.

No I know. I was just saying I don’t want to be one of those guys who names an animal something like Thor The Hammer-Sword of Gondor or something stupid like they do on the YouTubes

And you better camp on that bull. And if you don't kill one the first two days, go home and hunt the last two weeks. mtmuley

I’m going to have a bit of time saved up .
I have some hunts already planned. It should be a fun fall but I’d like to draw that Breaks tag! Lol

I can only imagine...

Your "ideas" just keep getting better.

 

[Irrelevant]

I have come to the conclusion that 90% of hunters have no clue how big a 300” bull actually is.

You just count the points, if it's a 6-point, then it's at least 300"

Com'on man, ain't that hard.

If you find a good one with your plane name him Tattoo!

And if it’s a 4x4 mule deer it’s a legit 160 buck.
