Yup,

I've bowhunted and rifle hunted Montana and lived there for a little time too (while attending a guide school in my younger years, not that I"m an old fart or anything). Where are you hunting exactly? There's a HUGE difference in terrain from the CMR (Mussleshell River & MO River Breaks) to the Bitteroots.

You're talking flat land hunting to quakies to VERY Mountainous dark timber.

So, where at, East, North, South, or West?

I've hunted Northern Yellowstone, spent much time near the NW panhandle of Idaho, and hunted as far East as Jordan, including the CMR and Missouri River breaks.

By the way, good luck. Too bad their Non-resident license just about empties your wallet though. Almost make you want to buy the Combo Tag and get your elk for an extra $100
