[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 2934768, member: 124243"] I hunted archery in Montana in a general unit for 6 days in September and can honestly say it was one of the worst hunts I’ve ever been on. The hunting pressure was intense to say the least. I walked over 60 miles and spike camped several nights way back in. There was sign in all the places it should have been but the elk just weren’t there. The reality was that the vast majority of the elk had been pushed off public in to the private. I saw over 300 elk within a half mile of the public and called a bull to the private public fence line but he wouldn’t cross. I talked to a lot of guys. Everyone was super friendly but only one guy had killed a bull. He said “I’ve hunted all over the west and besides general Colorado this is the most hunting pressure I’ve seen.” The animals just weren’t accessible. Not much to be done about it. If I lived in MT I think I could probably get it done at some point with more scouting and time but as a nonresident with little time and no local knowledge to point me in the right direction it’s a pretty low value tag in my opinion. The reality is that demand for elk is high and there’s lots of people hunting. [/QUOTE]
