Myron's Hunting Forecast:

The first step in the licensing process for non-resident deer and elk is history and it is now time to apply for special permit areas.

To hunt elk with us, the area is 798-20 for either sex, 700-00 for a cow elk. The Montana FWP & the 5 FWP Commissioners assured us in February, that the bow unlimited bow hunting permits would be allowed one more year due to the fact that many non-residents had already applied for the guaranteed outfitter sponsored licenses and paid a hefty fee for that license.

The deadline to apply for those licenses was March 15, however on March 13, the commission met and decided not to honor their word and instead put us into a draw situation for our bow permits. The good news is the limit they set is at 100% of 2007 applications, so chances of getting that permit are very good.

The ultimate result of this change for hunters is that to bow hunt elk in our area, you will need to apply for area 798-15 for either sex or 798-16 for a cow tag.

We were not aware of this change until we read it in the 2008 hunting regulations.

For those of you fortunate in the general category elk and resident hunters, congratulations and if you do secure a permit for our area, contact us early to reserve your hunt dates.

Antelope license for area 700-00, either sex permit are a draw. To bow hunt antelope you will want to apply for the 900-00 permit. The bow permit is limited as well at 5600 permits. The deadline to apply for deer, elk, or antelope is June 2, 2008.

Antelope doe permits are available Aug. 10, area 700-20 and you may purchase two per hunter.

Spring has arrived, the green grass is beginning to show up and we expect another good year for the game and horn growth.

Thanks to each of our repeat hunting guests for your confidence in us and we look forward to getting to know those of you joining us for the first time this year. We are anticipating another great year for 2008!
