Welcome BMB. You won't make the 180 day residency requirement for this years big game hunting season and most of the nonresident draws are past the due date. However, you can pick up some over the counter tags still available to NR's if you want to hunt more than just birds this fall.
In particular I would suggest you buy a single region whitetail doe tag ($70 for N.R. price) as your first big game to target. Most regions in MT except for Region 1 and 2 (your home turf) will have them. Various units will have slightly different regs on where and when they can be used, but it's not to difficult and you should have plenty of opportunities. That should lessen any pressure over the possibility of messing up limited chances. It is also possible that some individual hunting units might have surplus antlerless tags that will come on sale later this summer.
While folks often get hung up on big game, I know I do, remember a lot can be learned by hunting birds and small game. Not sure exactly what's in that country, but going after things like rabbits, squirrels, grouse, etc is still hunting (and tasty). Often times forays for these can be shorter, easier, and less pressure.
