peaches, goose, observatory

if you could hunt any of these areas in any special permit, which area would you concentrate your efforts and why? i hear great things from all three areas im just curious on what you guys think?

[buglebuster]

Depends what season, but i like goose prairie.

I think I would go with Observatory simply because I know that area the best and think I could have the most chances to scout it out. I think they all have similar chances to shoot a decent bull but it depends on how much time you can spend learning each one.

well ill let the cat out of the bag, my boss drew the hunter ed incentive tag for any elk units 336-368 382 388. he can hunt any open season including all special permit hunts he just has to use the method used in that open season. our problem is where to concentrate our efforts in scouting. with such a large area with big bulls being possible throughout. he is a meat hunter for the most part so this is his chance to get that one bull of a lifetime.

looks like scouting for his tag this summer will be my work out plan for getting in shape for my Montana hunt!

Rtsprings. Camp!!

Any special permit? Would that include the rut rifle hunts??!!

[D-Rock425]

That would be awesome.

[HighCountryHunter88]

Any special permit? Would that include the rut rifle hunts??!!

yes! yes it would

[Mr Mykiss]

Peaches rut then!!

[vandeman17]

With that tag he should be able to get a really nice bull in any of those units. I have seen some pretty big bulls in there over the last few years. Just make sure he is patient and waits for that bull that makes him happy! 

[DaveBTS]

Definitely Peaches.

I would say rifle rut tag in peaches and if he doesn't get anything move to observatory for muzzleloader and if he still doesn't get anything hunt Nile or bethel for the rifle bull tag... And if hasn't found one by then maybe it's time to take up a new hobby...
I would say he shouldn't shoot anything under 350 though

I have seen absolute mashers in all three units.  Good luck.

346-336 early , remember often second week of sept some good bulls get on the move and may end up miles from where they summer looking for lo ;)ve.
