Whitetail roadtrip to MT...

[Tlrussell]

I’m gonna hit up region 8 this year, seems to be getting a lot less attention.

Why would you drive across the country to a state that has a quarter of the deer distributed over nearly three times the landmass?

Because I have a tag for Montana and enjoy hunting whitetails. Fair question though.

This answer changes entirely depending on what region/part of the state you plan on hunting. Generally speaking, I find the most success with whitetail on either AG fields or anywhere "green" near a river. Taking a 130-140" whitetail in an area you've never set foot in, especially with a bow, is a tall order as you could imagine.

Agreed, 100%. NE region is what I was looking at. Along the milk.

Do you have access lined up already? If not, good luck.

Today conditions are perfect for that.

Can confirm, that was a perfect day for it!

Very tall order unless you go guided if you're looking for quality. The BMAs get pounded from my experience chasing birds there. If it's brown it's down was what I witnessed.

Yah, good luck on this hunt. Why in the world you want to drive to MT to shoot another whitetail is beyond me, but have at it, to each their own, especially along the Milk. Have fun!
