Montana Unlimited Units

[shooter22]

Hey there fellas. I've been pretty seriously considering trying my hand in the unlimited units next year. I've read a ton of posts and forums so I somewhat understand the pros, the cons, and how little of good information the public is willing to hand out (and rightfully so). I've also done quite a bit of e-scouting and considering more than one unit at this point, but I have one I'm pretty keen on.

So I'm going out on a limb and looking to get any and all information y'all are willing to hand out. Books, people to talk to, needed gear, etc. I know I need good boots!

I'm a pretty experienced hiker and backpacker and consider myself in pretty good shape.

Appreciate it ahead of time!

If you're a resident just go for it.

If not a resident then it's still expensive for what it is. A low success rate hunt. You're going to need to be in good shape.

I would take a season, and just hike the area to check your e-scout skills. If you can find them, then $1200 tag gamble odds go up.

I'm watching this thread. I am tired of hunting for a place where there are not a hundred other hunters there. Been in Montana since 1998 and found more hunters than animals.
