Title: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: Bigshooter on August 10, 2012, 04:25:23 AM: Since I didn't draw any deer tags this year anywhere, I went ahead and picked up a MT deer tag. It has been a couple years since I have hunted MT, and I can't wait to get back over there this year. I think I got trapperguy22 talked into picking up a deer tag also :tup:. He's never killed or hunted for mule deer before, but it will be a really good time i'm sure. I'll be sure and post pics come late November. :IBCOOL:

Post by: Ridgerunner on August 11, 2012, 07:15:23 AM: With all the tags they released, its a good option if guys want to experience some really good hunting this fall, I picked up a deer tag myself, can't wait for November and chasing muleys in the rut.

Post by: Bigshooter on August 11, 2012, 05:23:58 PM: Muleys in the rut is my favorite thing to hunt. Noveber cant get here soon enough.

Post by: cem3434 on August 11, 2012, 10:56:57 PM: You guys picked up doe tags, correct? Im thinking about picking up one for myself and one for the wife and heading over too.

Post by: Roger on August 14, 2012, 09:11:21 PM: Yea, Montana is a wonderful place to hunt.Will be there at the end of Oct. with Antelope, deer and doe tags. Time is getting close and will have to start the getting ready process.
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: Bigshooter on October 20, 2012, 08:48:17 PM: I can't wait. I'll be headed to MT in about 3 weeks. I think season opened today over there but I can't remember for sure. Hopefully we will be seeing some pics posted pretty soon of some big MT muleys.

Post by: M_ray on October 20, 2012, 08:52:36 PM: I'm headed over next week ... I would prefer to hunt in mid Nov but work won't let me off. either way its better than most WA LE hunts so it will still be fun :tup:

Post by: ribka on October 20, 2012, 09:07:26 PM: Heading over in3 weeks. hunting a friend's ranch by Round up. Picking up a doe tag too.
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: buckhorn2 on October 20, 2012, 09:24:44 PM: Last year between roundup and milstone there were a lot of deer but a lot of private but both mule deer and whitetail. Montana in mid-november is a hunters dream.

Post by: furbearer365 on October 20, 2012, 10:06:36 PM: We take off November 9th. First day of hunting will be the sunday the 11th. The three of us are hoping to be tagged out by wednesday or thursday then spend a day or so doing some coyote hunting. Saw tons of coyotes last year on the ranch we hunt, to many to pass up this year. Will post pics when we get back. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Good luck TY :tup:

Thanks. I plan on being there for 10 days. So i'm gonna hold out for awhile before I pull the trigger just so I can enjoy hunting mule deer in the rut. I can't wait.
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: teamhughes2007 on October 22, 2012, 07:52:37 AM: Our group will be heading over on the 9th as well. I'm beside myself excited because I had to take last year off for the birth of my daughter...and my brother came back with a really nice one to catch me on our lifetime deer count. We'll be heading back to a spot (public) where 7 of us tagged out 3 years ago. Hopefully we'll have similar luck. And I'm with the rest of you...there's nothing like hunting mule deer in rut. Good luck guys and stay safe!

Post by: Bigshooter on October 30, 2012, 10:40:14 AM: I'll be in MT in 2 weeks and i can't wait. It's all i can think about. Hopefully we will start seeing some pics get posted in the next few days from guys that are already there.

Post by: Skyvalhunter on November 01, 2012, 12:23:40 PM: Going to have to but good luck
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: klikboom on November 01, 2012, 12:32:06 PM: How'd you all get ranch access being Washingtonians? I want to hunt out of state next year, starting to do some research now. I'd like to drive so Idaho, MO are the most likely candidates. Is public hunting okay in MT?
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: yakimacoug on November 01, 2012, 03:31:44 PM: We are headed out on Saturday as well. We will be chasing Muley's on BMA and BLM land and I also have a bull tag in my pocket for the Breaks :tup:. Looks like the weather is due to change the end of next week, with a cold front moving in.

Honestly, I'm really glad they cannot measure productivity this week. Every day that goes by my mind moves farther east.

Good luck to everyone and travel safe!
Title: Re: Headed back to Montana this year.
Post by: bowpredator on November 01, 2012, 04:29:07 PM: We will be primarily on block management ranches, but will also check out some state and BLM land.
