In town, in the shops, restaurants etc....mostly ran into non-res' hunting....

out in the field ran into some montanians, but no locals really etc...there's quite a bit of land to hunt out there, alot of public, and friendly landowners from what I hear, only hunted public, but in the future would certainly knock on doors, or look up there hunter access program they have in MT< forget what its called....hmmm, ?

Openers are sundays in MT< talk about wierd, so that 1week alater may be the opener to many.....perhaps more so....since thatll be the first full weekend.....of hunting.

Either way I wouldn't worry too much. I'd line up a motel room now though.....

For muleys, there are even some whitetails in the area, saw a very nice whiteail buck while I was out there, but probably saw way more muley bucks than whitetails, either way, should be a fun deer hunt. I wouldn't be holding out for monster bucks, but a fun hunt for sure.
