1st Time DIY Muley Hunt

Hey all,

I am a Minnesota resident, looking at coming out to do my first trip for MT mule deer hunting. A buddy of mine and I are looking at coming out about mid November until Thanksgiving, after the MN deer season. We have been to MT a few times, just not deer hunting. As a little background, we are both experienced deer hunters, campers, hikers etc., just haven't done the MT mule deer hunting.

After looking at some maps and general information we are looking at focusing our hunting around the 417, 426, 680, and 621 along the river breaks. I am not looking for exact locations to hunt or GPS coordinates, just some general information if people are willing to share their experiences. Looking for information like if that area gets hit pretty hard all year, if we should expect a lot of people that time of year, deer herd situations, things to bring, any info on one of those zones (positive or negative), and/or any pictures to get us jacked up about going.

Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share, much appreciated. D&B

You must have gotten tags already?

Yup, we have general firearm deer permits. We are now just looking to narrow down specifically where we want to go. Just looking for general info about the areas to try and pick a spot to look at maps and research over the next few months until we come out. Thanks!

Awesome! Good luck. I haven't spent anytime out that way but I am sure if you get away from the roads and get out before light and do some glassing you will certainly turn up some bucks.
