No, we go on our own. Are you planning on hunting that unit?Did you find an outfitter for HD 393?

Yep; hope to find a fat elk somewhere.No, we go on our own. Are you planning on hunting that unit?
In 2020 we started hunting around big sky but ended up in 393. Ended up getting into a few including my first 6x6!Yep; hope to find a fat elk somewhere.
Nice bull! Were trails crowded?In 2020 we started hunting around big sky but ended up in 393. Ended up getting into a few including my first 6x6!
Not as bad as we expected for opening weekNice bull! Were trails crowded?
Great job! However just a suggestion. You are free to do as you choose but no reason to throw your unit out on the web for the world. Just a thoughtIn 2020 we started hunting around big sky but ended up in 393. Ended up getting into a few including my first 6x6!
Because they don't have 27,000 non-residents coming to their state and killing all their 1.5 and 2.5 year old bucks just to say they killed a buck.You guys have some “mighty fine” whitetail hunting over there. I mean look at what the Drurys are shooting. Always confuses me why the midwestern guys end up over here with the quality of deer they have. I have no experience but I’ve seen pictures and it looks awesome.
There is a 160”+ buck behind every tree in the Midwest.Because they don't have 27,000 non-residents coming to their state and killing all their 1.5 and 2.5 year old bucks just to say they killed a buck.
I saw that on tv once. CrazyThere is a 160”+ buck behind every tree in the Midwest.
Nope, but quite a few 3.5-4.5+ y.o. bucks.There is a 160”+ buck behind every tree in the Midwest.
There’s actually no trees left in Ohio bc all the 160”+ bucks rubbed them down to the ground!There is a 160”+ buck behind every tree in the Midwest.
Doesn't leave much time for hunting. mtmuley20 miles a day?
There is no way in he'll my part of wisconsin holds 35-55 deer per square mile.I get what you’re saying but that’s on y’all for electing the wrong people. Don’t blame nonresidents for your disgust.
Here’s how I would summarize it from an outsider’s point of view.
I live in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. Here’s a picture of deer densities. That’s roughly half what Montana averages just for whitetail. Almost everything is private farmland. Or suburbs with tiny bits of public. I’ve run trail cameras for years and the deer on public are generally only active from midnight to 4 am. Otherwise they are bedded in impossible to hunt thick shit. And all public is pounded by hunters in a way that Westerners could never imagine. Last year I saw 12 guys either across from me or walk past me in a 100 acre field of public on opening day. Hunting is horrible here (and yes, I move elsewhere in the state sometimes but that takes time and networking). Going out west looks way more fun and inviting.
Watching videos of Marcus walking in gently rolling terrain and shooting small four points stupidly looking at him compared to cracked out nocturnal Midwestern whitetails looks amazing compared to what I deal with.

*Edit: you Montanans are the biggest bunch of cry babies I’ve ever seen. I’m looking forward to killing some of your shit this year.
You drove all the way to eastern Montana to shoot a white-tailed deer? Really?I didn't know you could drive on 2 tracks, so I would find a parking spot on side of roads and start walking. Every hill looks like it's a couple hundred yards away but really a mile. I get to the area before sunrise and don't get back to truck till after dark.
From what I can tell you can sit on a hill for a afternoon and see nothing. So you have to find the deer which may take many miles. Now that I know you can drive on most 2 tracks on blm/bma it's a different ballgame.
If you go around ismay/plevna you'll see it's really open ground and very easy to cover lots of ground looking for that group of deer w/ a decent buck.
I should take a pic of my gps and you'll probably think I'm an idiot. Especially the 3.4 mile drag at night shot deer at sundown(174lb dressed whitetail) w/ my brother and 1 yoo hoo juice box for the 2 of us. Bringing a buddies deer cart this year...
Brother is oldier and softer and didn't think it was awesome but it was pleasant w/ all the stars and wildlife of the night.
That guy ain't coming back. Wish he would for entertainment purposes though. Not really thoughThere is no way in he'll my part of wisconsin holds 35-55 deer per square mile.
I have actually shot 2 whitetail in Montana. Actually drove all the way there for mule deer but wasn't able to turn up any size so the next focus was a nice whitetail. I was actually able to get on some private ground my last day there and help a rancher out that wanted to get rid of some whitetailYou drove all the way to eastern Montana to shoot a white-tailed deer?
