Title: Montana hunting
Post by: 6haase6 on February 16, 2014, 06:25:52 PM: Looking at hunting outside of Dillon and was wondering if any of you have hunted around there? Deer, elk and/or antelope. How are the herds? How much does it cost? Is this a brow-tine unit? How are the permit opportunities? Never hunted out of state and just thought maybe you guys could help out with some of these details. Montana vs Idaho archery (or rut hunts) elk what's your guys vote?

Not a lot of mule deer but a lot of whitetail, mostly private though. :twocents:
