Montana Elk

I have the general MT Elk license. I applied for one of the special permit areas.
620-20 and got the either sex rifle hunt.:cool:
6% draw odds, and only 60 permits. Many apply for this and won't draw in a lifetime. I sure didn't think I as a NR would ever draw. I had 8 bonus points.

Thanks, The scouting the planning and all the stuff leading up to the hunt will make for fun times. I know the area very well from my archery hunting days and I've done a lot of Muley hunting in the Missouri breaks country.

Congrats on the tag.

There's nothing wrong with a little luck now and then.

Will be sitting here waiting for updates.

It's nice to not read a post about "I drew a tag in an area I know nothing about, I didn't think I'd draw, tell me what I need to know to bag a monster". Congrats on drawing and good luck! Looking forward to some updates.

Killer, Archery for Montana Elk is Sept 3-Oct 16 [I had to give up archery]

My either sex rifle Elk is good Oct 22-Nov 27.
One of the great things about Montana is a long season.

I'll be there the opener for a few days, then early Nov then again the week before Thanksgiving.

Deer season dates are the same, I have a either sex/species state wide deer license also.

My thoughts are to go for antlers :thumb BIG antlers both deer and elk. [-o<

I'm planning on a day to day journal of my adventures to share. zzz Lots of pics too!

Wayne. CONGRATS. Patience pays off. I hunt Montana every year I draw ( three out of the last 4) and start dreaming about the trip about 3 weeks out. Am not familiar with your area, but generally speaking, if it's limited, it's good. We just finalized a lease on about 100,000 acres for the 2nd week of the season in the Crazies. Haven't seen it yet but have flown it on GOOGLE :thumb earth until my eyes started bleeding.

Good Luck

We'll compare notes when it's all said & done. :thumb
