Thank you Makaira.
I was thinking three key pieces of gear are going to be a 3-400 yard rifle, range finder and mapping software on a gps unit.
hey nick,
My current plan is to NOT hunt the first two weeks, instead go the second week of November, arrive on a Sunday and hunt the week days. I'll try to secure permission on a block management property. You can go on the Montana fish and game sight to read up on the rules for how to access. From what I have read, each Block Management area has different rules and contacts.
as far as getting a permit is pretty straight forward, apply for the deer combo for general deer district 7 as far as I can tell..
