Last year was my first trip to Montana. I hunted elk/deer. Saw lots of deer (does) and some elk. I missed a cow with my bow at 48 yards. Had a blast. I learned alot about the land and the pressure of other hunters. I'm now planning on what to do for 2018.
Do I go back solo with my bow or take one of my sons? Reason I say one is the other isn't interested in archery much. It was hard enough for me to get one elk to present a shot with a bow. I would gladly leave my bow in the truck to get my boy a shot. Taking a shooter and me being a caller does allow for different calling setups.
Go back to Montana in rifle season. This is much more youth friendly. I'm sure both boys would go then. My main concern is pressure. Getting away from other hunters enough to get us in animals.
I have been told the area I hunt gets pounded in gun season. Both boys will be 15 this fall. Thoughts/opinions?
