RE: combination hunt?
I'm just over 2 weeks away from doing my combination hunt this year in Montana. This year I was lucky enough to draw a deer and antelope license on my own without having to buy one through an outfitter. They are a little less expensive that way. I grew up in Glasgowso I'm sticking to areas that I'm familiar with. I'll be hunting the CMR refuge north of the lake this year, there are plenty of deer and some nice ones but on average I would say the ones down around Broadus are a couple inches wider and taller IME. The Powder River area down by Broadus has some of the nicest mule deer in the country and plenty of speed goats as well. If I was paying for an outfitter that's probably where I would go.
That's my 2 cents. Nathan
