NeMont, MtMuley, MtMiller and any others I am seeking your advice. I was hoping to be living in MT this June, but the economy has kept me in Kodiak at least one more year (not terrible!). I had to put in for my big game combination license or lose my one point. Needless to say I drew it. I have hunted eastern MT whenever I drew a tag since the late 1980's. I had a chance at a huge (190+ B&C) perfect 6 X 6 whitetail but I have always used my A tag for a mule deer. I will be applying for the CMR elk permit and hope that I do not draw it. What I would like to do is hunt for a big whitetail and probably just not elk hunt. Is it too late to find a ranch on some of the famed river country ranches for whitetail? I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions/ideas. Thanks a lot.
