We went last year but didn't see a lot of bucks every day. I think part of this was where we were hunting, but also the fact that we were hiking around on foot and not covering as much ground. I spoke to another member who said he can cover up to 200 miles a day in the truck just driving/glassing.

Find a road south of fort peck that leads out onto the CMR and find a area that looks like it would hold deer. Get away from the road and glass in the morning until 830 or 9. You should see deer especially if you can see the resivor.
Shoot me a message and I'll be willing to swap some hunting info with you

You also have too be careful of thawing roads during the day. The road that was frozen in the morning may thaw and become a mess by the afternoon and you'll need to wait for a re-freeze to get out. Make sure you have things in the truck to stay warm in case this happens
What about later in the season when the roads become gumbo

Doesn't always work like that. Two years ago I was right there second week of Nov and the day I shot my buck it was 70 degrees. Nov 13th. This year, same time same spot, -4 to high of 12. Haven't seen moisture over there in a couple years. No matter where you're at in Montana, if it rains you're not driving any of the roads unless they're paved. Probably have more chance of hitting rain in late Oct than you do in mid/late Nov.

If were hunting north or south of it, but looks like that's the general area we are heading if we get drawn.
Gonna take an extended weekend and check areas out this summer, or at least that's the plan.
:tup:
I had the boat idea brought up to me too but towing a boat that far to an area unknown was not appealing.

Can't wait to head back to the buck hole.

Think the hard winter impacted over there much ???
Not in the SE where we hunt, at least not yet, but there is still plenty of winter left to go.

We had such a great time hunting and fishing Montana. We could shoot two deer and an antelope every year. We would limit out on sharptail and sage hen within 25 miles of the Air Base. We fished Porcupine creek which surrounded the base for northern pike when we were not hunting. My high school buddies and I were always busy especially when the ducks (northerns) started flying south out of Canada. We had ducks landing in our decoys as we were pulling them out of the water. Never went home without a limit. Don't hunt the Missouri Breaks unless you yourself are a mule because that is some treacherous territory. Hunted it once with my friends and swore I would never do that again. Not sure what its like over there in Montana now but such fond memories still prevail. Good times!
Good Luck!
