You don't need to go to S.D to shoot roosters. Montana has WAY better bird hunting.

Dont see a ton of lope on the ranch over there when im deer hunting, but the bucks I see are all very nice ones, I dont know much about scoring antelope, but I know these are big boys. Lotta private land over in this unit.
