[QUOTE="slewis12, post: 1051128, member: 81211"] Montana can be tough to hunt we did a hunt in Heron, MT this year no luck on a shooter bull for either of us i did shoot a good muley so 4 tags one got filled. If you go further south wolves become a problem. I have talked to several guides and general people I know out there and the bulls just aren't bugling like they used to during the rut because of the wolves these being the areas you can use the general tag with a rifle during the rut. After that time period you should look into area with resident elk herds that dont do any migration hence our choice of hunting in the heron area with a outfitter. I also found out the resident elk are absolutely way harder to hunt than migrating elk they are way more elusive as in they know the area as good or better than the guide and tend to stay in the timber. I saw elk every day except one but nothing bigger than a spike. I have hunted many states Wyoming, Montana , West Virgina, Colorado, Ohio, and Michigan. I live in MI but my go to place is Wyoming they have less elk but in my opinion they are more concentrated you have the small herds in the big horns in the east then in the west the bidger teton and other wilderness areas and not to many elk if any in the middle. Montana has their elk over a larger area. So I would say to you save your money and go to Wyoming less elk yes but jammed in to smaller areas so higher concentrations better chance in bagging your self that bull. [/QUOTE]
