I will be hunting montana for elk this year on a general tag for the first time,
first post also- never had the need to do much research on the units we elk hunted as always hadame knowledge on colorado and Idaho in last years.
I’m wondering for those that have hunted either states before how the hunting pressure compares?
my thought was with a limited draw on general tags it would be better but seems I’m finding in my research and discussions with other this is not the case.
I’m wondering if I made a mistake pursuing this thinking I would find a better hunt in MT?
aways found elk where we have been before and really welcomed the challenge of the pressure etc.
Am I better off turning in tag and hunting elsewhere I guess is my first question if anyone is able to help out. Be more than willing to share some info on other states.
thanks
