Advice on DIY hunt

[Josh7277]

Hi all me and my brothers are planing an elk/mule deer DIY backpack hunt in Montana. We're new to Montana and wondering if y'all had any advice on areas to look into or just point us into the right direction. Thanks for you time.

I would go to the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks website and look at the Hunt Planner section. This is a great place to start. You will get all the stats for each HD in Montana by species. How many animals killed and the sex of that animal, How many hunter attempts res & Non-res, and it will tell you if you need a limited draw permit. Real good resource. Once you find a area you are interested in hit the http://svc.mt.gov/msl/mtcadastral/ site or Google earth.
