Thinking of heading back to MT to hunt elk this fall. Hunting public land not sure if I should go first week and a half of archery or gun opener. The area I hunt most of the public land critters move into private early November. When I was out there with a bow in 2017 I did see elk and called in a cow but missed.
I do have a place to stay and hunt in 270 but drive to a general area for most of my hunting. Weather being a factor against hunting with the gun. It can get nasty in the Big Hole pretty fast.
Also considered finding a spot to antelope/deer hunt with the bow and not pursuing elk this year...
Thoughts or considerations?
