Anybody ever hunt mulies near Broadus MT ?

You will be fine with a couple of weeks.  A few days rain won't spoil the entire hunt.  It might shut you down for a part of the hunt, but you'll be fine.

If I get drawn and don't get a buck over there in archery season, I just might be in the same area come firearm season!

so I'm drawn for deer and applied for antelope
Heading over solo this summer to scout it and then in October and possibly November to hunt.
my fingers are crossed.

Madmax,

Just an FYI, but I have seen antelope bucks that had already dropped their sheaths as early as the first week of November in that area.

Thanks
I will plan for 3rd week in October if I get drawn for antelope

I was thinking of taking my son down in November.   What week would you guys with experience in the area recommended for rut activity?

  if mule deer is the intended species then aim for the 10th.  That's the day that the switch really flips

How exciting. A couple of buddies and myself are headed over there in November sight unseen. It's just to hard for us to make it over before the season. Good luck to ya,  cant wait to hear your report of what you think of the country

It been a few years, but we use to hunt that area the week of Thanksgiving and they still seemed to be in the rut. Lots of block management land and lots of land tied up by Powder River Outfitters, so make sure you have good maps or one chip. The wet weather and snow can make many of the clay roads next to impossible to pass. The deer population was in the dumps, so we stopped hunting there all together about 5 years ago.

Long drive
thunderstorms
muddy roads
 spent 2 days each way traveling 2400 miles pulling the trailer
I do have to get a chip for my Rino
lots of country
deer all day everyday
lots of antelope
worth the look
not taking a trailer back there in Nov, doing the motel thing

[SemperFidelis97]

Thanks for the update Madmax.  I was curious how the deer came through this winter.   Are you grabbing a motel in Broadus?  I didn't see much online so I was debating on just camping out.

talked to locals and the taxidermy shop owners, they went oh yea, lots of deer, if I get drawn for pronghorn I will go over to hunt them after Washington Modern deer ends and if I see a nice buck deer so be it.
As far as anything for lodging the area doesnt have much but, yes I got a room for 2 weeks end of November at a decent rate and I will be hunting strictly for rutty mule deer.
I was going to camp out also but that time of year I think it could be dicey in a trailer off the hard packed roads.
I recommend going and looking if you never been, I saw all I needed to in 3 days there and excited to go back, I didnt get to fish because the rivers were fast and muddy but great gopher shooting also, only used a 22 but got 3 for sure confirmed out of 20 shots at them way out, before they wised up and stayed down till I left.
saw deer antelope coyotes, grouse and turks
fun trip, now its time for salmon in a week or so

Awesome trip! My buddies and I are going to MT the week of Nov 10-18. We are thinking about the Jordan area but Broadus sounds interesting too...decisions decisions. We’ve never been and it doesn’t look like we can find time for a scout trip. I really have a hard time going somewhere new sight unseen.
