Title: Help.... Montana Block Mgmt maps
Post by: Dan-o on March 22, 2017, 08:31:21 PM: So, I'm surfing the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks page, trying to print some Block Mgmt maps.

I haven't done it for a few years.

If I read the site correctly, I can't get the maps until August.

Is that right?

Thanks,

Dan

I called the regional office, but they don't have any 2016s.

I'm on the hunt!

Post by: Mark251 on March 24, 2017, 08:54:00 PM: Good luck, Dan-o! Do you have any specific region in mind?

Post by: Dan-o on March 24, 2017, 09:34:17 PM: I've hunted regions 6 and 7 quite a bit. Region 3 some.

I have some wanderlust, so i thought I'd try region 4.

Got any region 4 Block mgmt maps you could lend me? :-)

Post by: Mark251 on March 25, 2017, 09:41:52 PM: I wish I had the maps as well....I'd definitely send them your way. I'm thinking about trying Region 6 this fall, the area east of Havre along the Milk River. I talked with a biologist from that region last week and he thought the whitetail numbers should be good this year. I also read a summary of a study conducted last summer that indicated the numbers were down substantially so I'm not sure which is correct. I'll keep trying to get more accurate information. Have you had good experiences in Region 6?

White tail numbers are good not great. Mule deer numbers are way down.

Good luck
