AK Jeff pretty much nailed it. I live in region 7 of Montana. Some areas are better than others just as mentioned. Do your research if you want a wall hanger. Theres some out there. For example the general area where I like to hunt the mulies are doing good, however the antelope are few and far between. Its in pockets. Another area where I like to hunt, good luck finding a decent deer. 2 years ago that area was awesome but after last winter took a major toll in that pocket... Looking back this years hunting season, I would say this is one of the best years my family has had deer hunting here. Good moisture this last spring and summer yielded some of the best bucks we've killed over the years.
Salukipv1, Honestly Im surpirsed your considering hunting Montana. I remember last year you had a fit about Montana raising there non resident lic fee's on another thread on this same forum and now your wanting to hunt Montana this upcoming year?
