Montana Roll Call

[Karl Blanchard]

Well if there is a sign in box for that property then ya you can just go bang.  Don't even need to talk with the land owner.  Just fill out the card and go hunt.   

Provided that they are in Block Management program. Alot of land owners are bailing in that program and just leasing out their property to hunt groups, right Huntinphool?

I'm with ya now.  Little bad blood or chip on the shoulder going on.  Well personally I have never had one single issue with finding access to BMA land, or even knocking on doors and talking to land owners.  Heck my two biggest bucks out of montana, a 171" and a 164" came off state lands

There is also quite a bit of Block Mgmt. you will never get access to.  A lot of BM that is like Washingtons Public hunting by written permission only program that you will never get permission on.  The land owners won't give out permission and save it for friends and family hunting and then collect the funds from the state for allowing people to hunt on it.  Or they will give you permission to go hunt a little piece of plowed dirt.  They get their Safety Zones and a pay check its win - win for them.

BLRman, You knocked on a farmers door? When did this happen? lol.   

I will be headed over to Montana this Thursday. Going to be there for 7 days. Should be a good time. The best part of hunting Montana is being able to hunt the middle of the rut. We hit the rut perfect last year and it was awesome. But that's also a big reason why its hard to find a 160"+ buck over there. They are there and I have killed them, but they are few and far between. Good luck to all.

  You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!!!  You keep up that mouth of yours and I won't let you take the frame to the wall tent!  You'll have to have Josh and Phil hold up the ends all week!

Well we got here early this morning and the majority of our area we planned to hunt we can not hunt due to locked gates miles from where we wanted to be. We just got to our room so now we are trying to come up with a plan b. Not good!

[YoterHunter]

That was our problem last year there plus we had wolf 2 nights straight out of camp . We did see a few small bucks with the gates takes out some prime country good luck.  I'm headed to Townson next Friday

Anyone putting studded tires on for the passes? Can't decide if I should or not. I have the brand new Michelins on now. Headed for Broadus on Tues. and the forecast looks to be cold but no snow or ice yet. Decisions, decisions.

[vandeman17]

No luck for us but did see 3 bucks, two which were solid shooters but no shots. Those dang mountain whitetails sure are skittish. How I got busted by the first buck still baffles me 

[Bigshooter]

Weather was warm and the rut is just starting to get going now.  This was one of the bigger bucks I found.

Had a good time saw lots of deer one elk and pile of Turkey's all of the deer were wrong sex or breed the rut wasn't in full swing yet good luck

[Brushbuster]

I just arrived today in Eastern MT. Gonna start hunting tomorrow! Locals said the deer numbers are up slightly this year. I also saw more antelope than the past couple years while driving over.
