Hello fellow hunters!
I'm planning a bachelor party trip with some friends in the Big Snowy Mountains in Montana this coming spring, 2019. Some people wanna go to Vegas with their friends for their bachelor party, but I would rather spend it in the woods with my ultralight backpack and tent and chase some critters with my friends, lol! I personally have never been there before, but have heard wonderful things about it. I have done quite a bit of research into the area and it seems like a reasonable area for black bears, but I have a buddy in the group who wants to do some turkey hunting there as well. In my research, I haven't dug up much on how turkey hunting is in the Big Snowy Mountains, but it seems like the Little Snowy Mountains is pretty decent.
So I guess my question is, if there is anyone who has spent any time in the Big Snowy Mountains and if they feel like it may be worth picking up a turkey tag while I am out there at 7,000-8,000 ft? As a non-resident and on a wedding budget, i'm just trying to justify if it is worth buying a $115 tag or not while we are out there. Any help and advise would be great! Thanks !
