Nope, I guess I get one more preference point added to the basket.

Having just moved here I didn't get a chance to get in on any of the drawings so I bought 30 Super Tag chances for Bison, Elk and Antelope.

For the Bearpaws?
I have hunted elk over north of Rudyard on a friends farm on the Milk river breaks. Always get there right after they cross through his property. Seen some HUGE deer up there, and infact shot the biggest muley of my life on his place.

I drew a cow in the Black Leaf on the east face, pretty much a sure thing if the weather cooperates. I can't complain cause I drew and shot a nice Bull there last year.

Yep in the Bears Paw Mountains or the breaks. The tag is good in either 680 or 690 districts.

Well, I got a goat tag in 314 and my usual OTC sheep tag for 300, hunting both since the areas actually overlap.
I have a A-9 cow tag south of town, let's see if the Burcellois problem actually opens a few gates. Could be a two elk year since this is in addition to the regular tag.
Got a mulie doe tag in my regular elk area, no one seems to put for them there and the does are generally wandering around my camper in the morning, easy meat, I hope.
No word on antelope but we should get tags in 700's since my wife and I put in together and she always get what she wants...

Drew a 530 Mulie tag and a B whitetail tag for North of Roundup. Still waiting for antelope results. You would think they would come out first being its the first big game you can hunt. Was given a nuisance tag for elk in the Bear Paws last year but never saw a cow after the regular season closed. Tough to get acess as Faber has most of the land leased for his outfitting business but stop at FWP and they can give you the names of the people who wanted some of the elk shot off there property.

From 1980 until 2001, I drew a license every year except one. Since then I have been at about 50% and zero for three when applying for the general deer only license. Will use a different strategy next year. Good luck guys!

maddness and george - you guys are dang near in my back yard. if you get up this way, let me know.

Antelope results are available on-line with your ALS#. As expected we got tags in 700's. We will stay out for a week and generally get the extra doe tags, this year 2 each. So, since Lori has a new rifle she will want to whack 3. I can't help myself and am OCD on filling any tag I have. I'm thinking about not using my 270, maybe just the 7.62x39 to slow me down. If we are successfull on all counts all our friends and relatives will have some nice game meat this year.

Nope, the only thing we put in for was moose. The area i hunt elk in now has 6 days of either sex elk so....we'll see

My son drew a brow tined/cow elk tag in the Game reserve east of Clearwater Junction. I am planning to accompany him to provide bear defense...same area a gentleman was mauled to death 3 years ago. Plan on carrying pepper spray and either our 375 ruger or 12 ga with slugs and buck. The Girz hear a shot and think it is the dinner bell...

Came across two large cubs last year ON the road just outside of Shanley Creek...Seems like there are lots of bears in that unit.

HUNTS

Didn't put in this year for the first time. Over the counter tags are a sure thing and good enough for me and my son. Not sure it's worth it putting in for hard to draw areas like The Breaks. Too many people putting in have reduced the odds and made it a joke.

I drew a buck Antelope in 401, Sweetgrass Hills.

i know what you mean ~ same deal here with the wind, usually.

i don't get up to shelby much since 1989, but last year we stopped for supper after a football game in sunburst. i was disappointed to find that your howard's pizza was gone, but we found a very good chinese place just across the tracks.

the town looks good and i'm glad to see that some communities still have (and support) their "main street businesses!" if you get toward chinook, let me know.

Yep, our variety of eating establishments are starting to shrink. Next time your in town I suggest the Sportsmans Club on Main Street.
