Montana Region 7 Deer Hunting Partner Request

[chukar58]

I am planning on hunting southeast Montana this fall for deer and was looking for a hunting partner.  I can go archery hunting in September and early October or my preference would be to hunt modern rifle in late October or November.  I have hunted Montana for deer and antelope years before and have wanted to go back for a long time.  Anyhow I have lived and hunted in Washington all my life and I am trying to plan a quality hunt out out of state.  I lost my life long hunting partner last December and so I would like to make some new friends.   Thank You

The SE is predominately private, do you have access to private or are you planning on looking for public land?

I am working on getting access on private land through the Montana block management program.  I am impressed how the Montana FWP has worked with landowners to provide access for hunters.  With the research that I have done I have found land to hunt and yes most of that part of the state is private land.

Haven't been on here a while so I don't know if this has been covered, but the whitetail are dropping dead like flies here right at the moment from EHD. I have heard FWP say if we don't get a frost soon we may loose 90% of our whitetail population. FYI plan accordingly. Check with locals where you hunt if you're not hunting Mule Deer.
