Congrats and good luck! I also got a tag this year. Seems to be about every other year draw for me. Feeling sparky about it. That makes three tags for me this fall. A Black Hills, a Harding County any deer and a Montana general tag. Gonna be a busy November.

I have a place near Custer, went out yesterday afternoon to mow and take care of some business. I saw two bucks together within a half mile of my property, a 2 year old four pt and a 3-4 year old. Hard to tell how old in the velvet but he had five on each side and is a mature buck. I myself am wanting to tag a Black Hills buck with split brow tines, this year. We'll see how it goes.

Limestone country is a good choice. There are lots of pockets of forest here and there and all of them will hold deer. Suggest you download the Avenza app for your smartphone and get the USFS MVUM's for Hell Canyon and Mystic ranger districts. You'll find them helpful.
