good hunting on the southside, or so i have heard.....but im only familiar with the chunk of land on the northside from the dam to Timber Creek and north so thats what i kept my details to....have yet to set foot on anything between 200 and the lake so figured i better not comment on it have fished that shore line for walleye an awful lot though....

Don't forget the Terry Badlands. It was my favorite place when I was in college.

I agree about the south side too. That's a great buck scenarshooter. A friend arrowed a 27 incher on the southside a few year ago. He went to a place we discovered on the map and could only easliy get to with a boat.

If you are applying for a Non resident Deer combination tag (Deer A) your draw rate without ay bonus points will be around 20%. With 1 point it goes up to 32 and seadily increases from there. Montana issues around 2300 + or - tags for Nonresidents as the Deer combination tag. These tags are statewide unless you want to hunt a limited draw area in which you would have to go into the drawing for a limited draw area.
Hope this helps,

Near the confluence of the Missouri and the Musselshell River.. 180+ B&C. Good bucks to be had if you look hard enough and pass up the young stuff....

Seen lots of deer sign in that area, but haven't hunted it. Did the bay at Crooked Creek fill up this year?

it came up quite a bit last year.....if it comes up as much this coming year as it did last year they figure they will be able to run the walleye tournament out of the Crooked Creek Marina again in 2011.....

That would be great. My Uncle talks about taking the F&G boat up through there into the mouth of the Musselshell netting walleye, but it has been to dry for years to do that.
Many of the reseviors north of the Willow Cr. Road were used to raise walleye and other fish, but they have been dry for many years now. They make great whitetail habitat now however.

Wasn't too long ago you couldn't launch a boat out of Forchette either. If your fishing the tourny good luck to you.
