Montana 318 for Muleys??????

[longrange7mm]

Hey guys, I hate to admit i screwed up but I did and I applied for and drew 318 instead of 312. I have not spent anytime over there but I am planning a couple trips over between now and season. Has anyone on here ever hunted this tag and willing to share some insight? Thanks in advance

I hunted Elk in Unit 392 other side of Helena I saw a huge mullie but my deer tag wasn't good for that area so let it pass that being said their aren't very many deer in the unit I hunted the local said way to many cougars but not sure about 318? but if you go wait tell the very end of season

Thanks chiefeng, I plan on hunting the last part of season since the other states I hunt usually end mid november. I may try a archery hunt in there as well after talking to the local biologist yesterday, She said the unit is a sleeper and a few guys that know how to hunt it are successful year after year. Im going to head over there next week and do some spring bear hunting and get a feel for the land. sounds like having good horses will be to my benefit

I know I wish I had horses well maybe not lol. I'm taking my son to MT deer hunting this year. It will be his first deer hunt thinking on Missouri breaks or Custer national forest any Ideas.

Im not to sure about deer in MT, I have been trying to draw 312 for awhile but i guess I will be waiting awhile longer  I have heard that the custer NF has some great hunting. I have a strong love/hate with mt and there seasons the long season through the rut sure has made harvesting a mature muley difficult in allot of areas. but damn I love hunting them in the rut  . Wish i had better advice for ya

If I was not bring my son along I would have put in for the 250 unit supposed to be the best trophy potential in MT.
