Not sure about SE MT but I've hunted SW MT twice in the last 3 years & there are A LOT of wolves. Mulie #s good, whitetail #s a little low, & Elk #s down also but we've still seen a good amt. of game & killed some bucks & bulls. The ranch we hunted bordered Yellowstone (Wyoming). We're hunting North Central MT this Nov. for mulies, 'yotes, & upland birds Good luck, you'll love it out there!
