First year hunting MT, what's your thoughts?
Drew NR deer tag with 2 other buddy, (one is on this forum) and doing our research of where to hunt. There is few options so far but not sure where to concentrate our efforts.
Option 1, one of my buddy has a friend that hunts the NW corner of the state for deer and elk, has killed some dandy bucks, but from my research the deer numbers are lower then many other area in MT. B tags are very limited, and no over the counter doe tags.
Option 2, the other person has family members that live out side of Kalispell, MT. and is going to look at access or other good information on the area. I have not found much info on this area, waiting to hear back from what he finds out, but not many B tags and no over the counter tags.
Option 3, hunting around the Ennis MT area. For what I have found, deer numbers decent, B tags available, and over the counter doe tags, so bring home full freezer is very possible.
Option 4, head east..... for my understanding the farther you go, the better the quality of deer, and more B tags available. Looking around Fort Peck Res. Around Jordan, but have also been recommended to go farther east then that.
None of us are looking for record class bucks, looking for decent bucks and filling the freezer with B tag meat. But if we only brought back one decent buck each, we will be happy. B tags are not a must, but a bonus to fill freezers.
