Title: Bird hunting in Montana
Post by: ribka on October 14, 2009, 07:21:47 AM: Thinking of taking the dog to Montana. Received block hunting booklet from MT Fish and Game
Anyone willing to share general info on Montana bird hunting areas?

Also combine some fly fishing probably on the Missouri River by Craig, MT
Thanks

I just got back last weekend and had a good trip. Anywhere along the Hi-Line has good bird hunting and the further you get from towns the better the hunting and better chance of getting permission to hunt private land. I won't give out any specifics on-line but if you have any areas you are looking at in particluar PM me and I will try to help.

Will pm. I think will have a couple of hook-ups to private land in addition to block management.
