Missouri Breaks rifle tag

[MontanaTines]

I have a friend who drew a bull tag for 622 north of Fort Peck and the Missouri River, east of Fred Robinson. He asked me to see if anybody had any suggestions for locations, tactics, etc.

Has anybody been archery hunting in there this year?
Will the bulls still be down in the thick willows once the rut is over, or do they move away from the river?

Any thoughts at all would be appreciated from you guys located up that way. You can e-mail me at [email protected].
Thanks in advance.

With the big fire in 622 things have changed out there. There are some good bulls but with all the pressure from the bowhunters they are in the most inaccessible places. The good thing is that the CMR is closing the refuge (on the North Side) to mule deer hunters again.

thanks NeMont, I thought you might have something to say, is the mule deer closure after the 13th or so, it's not the whole season is it? How can I send you a PM.

No, not the entire season.

Thanks mtmiller, they close it the last two weeks of the season to let the mule deer bucks have some chance of surviving the rut.
