I'm not sure of the breaks but I know on the Highline from Shelby to Glascow they got hammered.

Look at Nemont's post titled "best place to antelope hunt". Some pretty graphic picture's.
How do you know the license's were under subscribed? I did not get drawn for a deer combo last year.

I think most of the state is hurt for a few years.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-24-11 AT 08:19AM (MST)[p]I just read about some deer counts in the Thompsom Falls area. Fawn mortality is 38 percent. Doesn't bode well for the East side of the state as winter was a real killer over there. I'm bettin some fairly large quota changes are ahead. mtmuley

I'm flying home from Montana today after a week here. I was in unit 481 and it was crazy how few antelope I seen. Compared to a couple years ago I bet I saw 1/3 the numbers of antelope.
