Since I didn't draw any deer tags this year anywhere, I went ahead and picked up a MT deer tag. It has been a couple years since I have hunted MT, and I can't wait to get back over there this year. I think I got trapperguy22 talked into picking up a deer tag also

. He's never killed or hunted for mule deer before, but it will be a really good time i'm sure. I'll be sure and post pics come late November.

With all the tags they released, its a good option if guys want to experience some really good hunting this fall, I picked up a deer tag myself, can't wait for November and chasing muleys in the rut.

Bigshooter · « **Reply #2 on:** August 11, 2012, 05:23:58 PM »

Muleys in the rut is my favorite thing to hunt. Noveber cant get here soon enough.

cem3434 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 11, 2012, 10:56:57 PM »

You guys picked up doe tags, correct? Im thinking about picking up one for myself and one for the wife and heading over too.

Yea, Montana is a wonderful place to hunt.Will be there at the end of Oct. with Antelope, deer and doe tags. Time is getting close and will have to start the getting ready process.

Bigshooter · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:48:17 PM »

I can't wait. I'll be headed to MT in about 3 weeks. I think season opened today over there but I can't remember for sure. Hopefully we will be seeing some pics posted pretty soon of some big MT muleys.

M_ray · « **Reply #8 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:52:36 PM »

I'm headed over next week ... I would prefer to hunt in mid Nov but work won't let me off. either way its better than most WA LE hunts so it will still be fun

Heading over in3 weeks. hunting a friend's ranch by Round up. Picking up a doe tag too.

buckhorn2 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:24:44 PM »

Last year between roundup and milstone there were a lot of deer but a lot of private but both mule deer and whitetail. Montana in mid-november is a hunters dream.

We take off November 9th. First day of hunting will be the sunday the 11th. The three of us are hoping to be tagged out by wednesday or thursday then spend a day or so doing some coyote hunting. Saw tons of coyotes last year on the ranch we hunt, to many to pass up this year. Will post pics when we get back. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Thanks. I plan on being there for 10 days. So i'm gonna hold out for awhile before I pull the trigger just so I can enjoy hunting mule deer in the rut. I can't wait.

teamhughes2007 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 22, 2012, 07:52:37 AM »

Our group will be heading over on the 9th as well. I'm beside myself excited because I had to take last year off for the birth of my daughter...and my brother came back with a really nice one to catch me on our lifetime deer count. We'll be heading back to a spot (public) where 7 of us tagged out 3 years ago. Hopefully we'll have similar luck. And I'm with the rest of you...there's nothing like hunting mule deer in rut. Good luck guys and stay safe!

Bigshooter · « **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2012, 10:40:14 AM »

I'll be in MT in 2 weeks and i can't wait. It's all i can think about. Hopefully we will start seeing some pics get posted in the next few days from guys that are already there.

T -9 days and we will be heading out. Hunting East of Broadus. Cant wait.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #23 on:** November 01, 2012, 12:23:40 PM »

Going to have to but good luck

klikboom · « **Reply #24 on:** November 01, 2012, 12:32:06 PM »

How'd you all get ranch access being Washingtonians? I want to hunt out of state next year, starting to do some research now. I'd like to drive so Idaho, MO are the most likely candidates. Is public hunting okay in MT?

yakimacoug · « **Reply #25 on:** November 01, 2012, 03:31:44 PM »

We are headed out on Saturday as well. We will be chasing Muley's on BMA and BLM land and I also have a bull tag in my pocket for the Breaks

. Looks like the weather is due to change the end of next week, with a cold front moving in.

Honestly, I'm really glad they cannot measure productivity this week. Every day that goes by my mind moves farther east.

Good luck to everyone and travel safe!

bowpredator · « **Reply #26 on:** November 01, 2012, 04:29:07 PM »

We will be primarily on block management ranches, but will also check out some state and BLM land.

One week from today I will be heading to MT. It's getting hard to concentrate on anything else.

poopooheaddad · « **Reply #30 on:** November 06, 2012, 09:13:41 AM »

Had a great year over there last time, we all filled our tags, heading back over Thankgiving week, our friends that live there said that the drought was not good on the animals they looked like African village kids with skin hanging off there bones and blowted bellies they need some rain...still looking to get over to some Big sky country, good luck to you

Bigshooter · « **Reply #31 on:** November 10, 2012, 11:12:46 AM »

It's almost here. Leaving Monday for a week and a half of mule deer hunting.

deerslyr · « **Reply #32 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:24:51 PM »

Bucks are moving boys!! With this nasty weather and the rut kicking in the action is really heating up. Saw more deer and more bucks this evening than ive seen in any other day the rest of the year. Really fun, except for the 5 degree weather.

ribka · « **Reply #33 on:** November 10, 2012, 08:32:28 PM »

Heading out tomorrow morning. Should hit the rut

Looks like more snow and cold weather in this week's MT forecast
