I just moved to ND 3 days prior, but we had this trip planned for over 6 months and I wasn't going to miss it this year. I met up with my dad, his friend, 2 brothers, and a childhood friend last Thursday. We scouted a great field that night and hoped the birds would stick to their instincts. We...
Thanks for all of the information everyone! We are hunting around Garrison but we decided between a morning and evening hunt, scouting, and a nap, that we are just going to stick to ducks and geese. It's a bummer to hear how hard the population has gotten hit the last year between the rough...
I know ND went through a pretty brutal summer with much of the state experiencing significant drought conditions. I'll be duck hunting with a group of friends come November and we were just wondering how the pheasant numbers were looking? We are from out of state so we're debating on whether or...

Didn't see any elk 8andcounting. Don't know if we weren't in the right spots or if we just blew them out but we were in 3-6 miles deep every day and checked different ridges each day.
I just got back from there yesterday! We hunted Sun-Thurs morning and it was still fairly warm (Nov should be a better time to hunt). Like Mthuntinfool said, access to the south is limited and access to the North is walk-in or horseback only. We checked out the south one day and found most...
Hey everyone! First real post but just looking for your thoughts on what I saw scouting the other day out in Montana.
Went scouting after a light snow, and everything was mostly frozen until about 1-2 pm. I saw several tree rubs throughout the day and touched them and found the sap was dry on...
I found this forum while watching Fresh Tracks and I'm already a huge fan! I live in Montana now but originally from MN. I've mostly hunted whitetail, grouse, and pheasant. Now that I live in Montana I am trying really hard for elk this season. With that being said, I know little about elk...
