Go east for muleys and stay west for elk. There are many areas out west where you can harvest a cow, not a bad option if you can't find a bull, and they taste real good.

I highly reccomend the Missouri River Breaks for Muley....It is a permit area for Elk though, so no help there, although there are some monster elk in there too......20-30 miles out of Roy of Highway 191, get off the highway a good 20-30 miles so outstanding Muley country.

No way no how will it even take you 3 days to tag out in 250 let alone two weeks :chuckle: Guess the wife won't know what you're doing with the other 11 days ;)

270 unit can be a good elk unit if you get a ton of snow and get way off the road but even if you don't get one you can still look at all the nice muley bucks, best deer unit in the state see about 10 a day like the one in this pic

I grew up in Libby Mt (northwest corner) and still hunt there when i can draw a tag. There are lots of mule deer whitetail and elk in this part of the state. For Mule deer I'd hit the Fisher River area (Cody creek or Richards Creek) For elk head to Canyon Creek or anywhere in The Cabinet Mountain Wilderness area. Good luck to you you should do very well.

anywhere around Whitefish. The muley might be harder around there, but big elk #'s in that area. Haskel Basin near Big mountain ski resort has good bulls but a lot of hunters
A pat on the back is just shy of a kick in the ass..
