I'm heading up to Montana this week for the last week of rifle general elk/deer. The unit by my parent's house has over the counter (up to 5 per person) Whitetail doe tags - archery only.
If I'm able to tag out on my general rifle tags, I was thinking about buying a couple of these doe tags. I...
Just to add a little color to the story. I’ve only been hunting but game for about 4 years now. Took my first elk (cow) last year in my home state of Montana. Got an awesome opportunity to hunt a ranch in NM at a minimal cost and took advantage! This was our second day of the hunt. Decided to...
Had my first hunt in New Mexico this past weekend. Took a nice cow during a great 4 day hunt with good friends. Ready to hit Montana for the last week of general rifle for deer/elk!
My .30-06 is a Howa. It is my first, and so far only, hunting rifle. With the "cheap" scope it came packaged with I think I paid $450 about 4 years ago. The thing is dead on so far in all conditions. I might upgrade the scope one day, but for now it serves it purpose.
Good deal! I hunt a spot over by Showdown Ski area. Seen lots of activity in there but never put anything on the ground. Beautiful county though, try to find a spot with minimal dead-fall, there's lots of it there.

Be careful, you may never come back! I'm in west Texas, Midland/Odessa area. You heading up for opening rifle? I'll be there closing week over Thanksgiving.
Great deer! I first got into OnX (Hunting GPS maps back then) when I bought a chip for my Garmin Montana. Have subscribed to their mobile/web service for the past two years and it's great!. Was a little frustrated last year because my way points and activities would never sync between mobile and...
Thanks! Yeah seems a bit backwards. I was lucky to work for three years in Billings, kind of a one-off in my industry. That office closed down and Texas it was. We will enjoy our time here, like you said the people are great (for the most part).
It's just a different pace of life, way too fast...
Hey all! Was turned onto these forums from a good friend who frequents here. My wife and I are originally from Western Montana, but currently reside in Texas. Down here because of work. We hope to make it back to MT sooner than later, for GOOD! :hump:
I've had my Montana tags since the spring...
