Montana Muley

[TS604]

Heading to Northeast Montana in October with a group of family. We were fortunate enough to draw as two groups. With 10 people going I see some challenges. I am working on scouting with Onx right now but finding spots for this many guys is tough. Looking for recommendations. Would it be best to split up into two man groups and all go separate ways or should we look at sticking closer together?

So all 10 of you have buck tags?

10 guys?! Be easy on the dinks out here

If it were me personally I would split into small groups (2 or 3 people) and get after it. Having more than three people (even if two aren't hunting) has become a rodeo for me in the past. As far as splitting up goes from the other groups, just have clear communication about where you are going so you don't overlap too bad. If you decide to hunt in a larger group make it very clear who is shooting first and second. With that many people shooting can become a hassle and/or dangerous pretty quick. Drawing straws is a pretty good fair method for this.

Absolutely, not looking to wipe out the population just hoping to find one or two nice ones and have a great time. I expect to return to MN with a few very expensive tags in pockets

Split up in two man groups & spread out.

Tell everyone else that you're going to look "over there" and let them sort it out.

Cant say I have ever hunted with that many people...well maybe at the duck club. I would take your favorite friend or family member and get as far away from others as possible.

Out of curiosity how much is a out of state buck tag now days? With 10 of you coming that's a lot of ground that could be covered so hopefully you guys bring like 4 trucks cause if not your going to be on top of each other. To be honest most private land owners would just laugh at you if a truck load of out of staters showed up asking to hunt

$700 with a bonus point. Ya hope to have 4 trucks and cover a lot of public land.

Ya I kinda thought of that after I posted. Everybody has those feelings about out of staters coming in. I suspect that we won’t make to much of a footprint. This is kinda a bucket list trip for my dad and uncle.

Where are you guys headed?

 

[nemthunter]

What district does your tags cover? That will help in determining were the best spots are.

 

[coues craze]

Not trying to be rude but I’d stay home before I went hunting with 10 people. You know what they say two is company three is a crowd.

Glasgow area

 

[Cubby]

A couple of special draw areas up there, what tag did you guys draw?

I know, it sounds like a nightmare. Sorta a bucket list hunt for my dad and uncle. Hoping to get them a shot at some nice deer and have some fun with family.

Glasgow area

Let me guess the breaks? What district? I hunt the breaks and will be heading there this year.

You will have plenty of fun with that attitude. What is everyone's expectations for size of buck? I would make sure to have spots that are spread (miles apart)r. Nothing more annoying than ruining the hunt for each other when you hunt to close together. Make sure to enjoy your hunt and not just be the guide for everyone else.
