Heading out for an antelope hunt in October. Know from experience that the unit sometimes requires sitting or kneeling shots due to sagebush, so need another set of longer bipods. I have a Harris that I am happy with but it is quite a hassle to take on and off and very uncomfortable when...

Message sent. Thx

We hunted pronhorn and very happy. I had two of my sons with me, they were pretty young at the time, like 5 and 7. There were elk and deer hunters in camp too and they had good hunts all of them.

I know this is mostly a DIY forum, but hoping for some advice. After years of saving preference points I am looking to book a rifle elk hunt for my son (16) and myself, either 2024 or 2025. He will graduate high school next year and I want to make this a memory for life before he moves out. I...

We got the applications done but did not draw the general Deer tags unfortunately. Now we are trying to figure out plan B, possibly apply for doe tags (700-00) which seem to be guaranteed and focus on scouting for next year when we hopefully draw buck tags! Any thoughts?

I think I got it now. The youth licenses are unlimited but requires a "sponsor" who has a full-price tag. In other words, if I draw, then my kid automatically gets a tag, otherwise not. thanks everyone

I was trying to apply for the MT non-resident Deer combo as a group with my dad and son. It worked well for my dad's application and we are both tied to the same party. But for my son's youth license there was no option of tying it to the same party. I suspect this is to do with the fact that I...

We also drew tags for 32, sending you a PM

Thanks, that sounds encouraging. Have booked B&B lodging on a ranch right next to the North Platte so some fishing is definitely on the agenda too. My younger son (13) did not draw a tag but he will be bringing some fishing gear!

Is that the Marton ranch you are referring to?

Planning a DIY hunt in early October With my Dad and 15 year old son. We have hunted antelope before but different units and this will be our first DIY. Looks like plenty of public land and a couple of big Hunter Management Areas. Anyone got experience from Muddy Mountain? Our plan is to stay...

You’re absolutely right, i was looking at the type 7. My bad and thanks for pointing out. Rick

We drew antelope tags for unit 32. Strangely out of four hunters none drew the doe tag which should have been about 50% for non-resident. But with three buck tags looking forward to an exciting hunt anyways.

Only tried it once, years ago, and unsuccessfully. It is a great experience in trophy country but rather low probability unless you are really dialled in. I think the best bet is to glass the alpine meadows and chutes or check logging roads. I am sure there are people on here with specific...

Beautiful, congrats to hunter!

I am looking to take my Dad and son (14 yrs) on a pronghorn hunt next year. We have 6 points each and I am kind of scratching my head on what is the best option. We have lived overseas for 4 years and I have not been up to date but kept buying points thinking we would be in good shape by the...

We are planning a hunt out of Red Lodge this fall. Main focus is mule deer and we have access to some good private land in 575. Now, as a second option I am considering whether to apply for an antelope tag in that area too. This would mean units 512 or 514. From my research to date it seems...

Does anyone know if Montana publishes the number of B licenses they intend to issue before the draw? I can't find info anywhere on the website on which units will actually offer B licenses and how many. I am looking at 700 district and over the last couple of years the B tags seem to have been...

My son will be 10 in May this year. We have been looking at the apprentice hunter program, but the more I understand the rules the more limited the opportunity really seems. Here is what I gather: 1. Not open to anything that has a draw. So no antelope or applying for a general deer combo 2...

Hi guys, Looking at a deer and antelope trip this fall to eastern Montana. I would bring my sons and perhaps my dad too. We are looking for a good time in beautiful country, trophy size is less important. We have no bonus points for Montana, but it looks like we will have access to private land...
