I am not usually the type to ask for info on the internet... I am from North Central Montana. I have hunted that area my whole life and I know most of it pretty well. I have been in the AF for 11 years and am currently stationed at Hill AFB in Utah. I came home and hunted elk last week to no avail (got a bear though!) My problem is that it takes about 9 hours to get to where I am familiar with hunting. I can be to Dillon in 4 hours... I feel like I am passing up alot of ground to get to the area I know. I dont need anything specific, just wondering about populations, wolves, griz, etc... I would be able to hunt weekends alot more often if it was only 4 hrs instead of 9. Is there a good enough population and public land access to make it worth learning the area for archery hunting? Any info would be helpful.
