missouri river breaks MT.
Wanted to see if anyone out there has hunted the missouri river breaks in MT.(unit 622) in rifleseason. My dad drew a tag for that unit and we don't now what to expect. We have hunted elk in western montana for15+ years, but neverhuntedeastern montana. If anyone has any info on the size of bulls that are out there that we might see or any stories of there own success. Also not looking for exact location but a general idea of where we could go to get started hunting would be great.(Also any pics).

Expect mosquitos, willows, more mosquitos, willows, and big bulls. 2 of my neighbors archery hunted that unit last year, and the one shota 350 class bull, and the other missed a bull that was close to 400. Thats about all I know about the area. Did I mention, MOSQUITOS. Thermacell will be your friend!

Cell phone are of no use there and a grocery store is not near and the road in is narrow with a couple hundred foot drop offs on each side which can make it kinda problematic if pulling a camper or boat.
Good Luck.

If the ground isn't frozen yet and it rains do not attempt to drive on the gumbo roads as they will be impassable, just hold tight and wait for some sunshine and a little wind and the roads will be passable again.Do not believe the guys who tell you there are big bulls behind every tree as that simply is not true. There are bulls and big bulls to be sure but they are the exception and not the norm. I have talked guys every year who have eaten that tag rather then not shoot a raghorn.
The elk are the most educated elk anyone has hunted and even a good caller gets busted so it may be best to set up an ambush.

Ummm....No I am not calling you a liar. I have lived here my whole lifeand spend alot of time out there,there are not big bulls behind every tree like some guys say. Also if you have only hunted it during bow season it is not the same game as rifle season. Think what you like, I really don't care.
