Hi All,

Long time reader first time poster. My dad and I have been hunting general deer units for several years and decided to change things up a bit this year and try out the Pryor Mountains. From what I understand about the unit so far is the deer numbers are low but the sex ratios are good. It also sounds like we should stay away from the reservation. Certainly not trying to find out anybody's favorite spot as we like to hunt away from people as well, but any information to start scouting would be much appreciated. In exchange I would be glad to share about any information I can about deer hunting HD 300 Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, or California.

Thanks in Advance
 
Wish I could help. I saw a decent buck out there in 2009. Haven't seen one since. Plenty of coyotes and lions tho.

Good luck.

Dad and I went 1 for 2 on the Pryor Mountain hunt, as expected deer numbers were fairly low but we had a few opportunities on 2.5 and 3.5 year old bucks. On the plus side the country is beautiful and it was really cool seeing big horn sheep and wild horses. On the negative side the morning after we ate the tenderloins out of my buck, I received an email that there was a suspected case of CWD found in the unit. As always it was great seeing a new area and spending time with family. If anyone would like some further info on the area please let me know.
 
Even in the HIGHLY unlikely case that your deer had CWD there has never been a proven scientific link between CWD and any disease in humans (even though its been studied extensively). Congratulations on a good hunt and enjoy your venison !
 
I Seen More Wild Horses yesterday than Deer!

They also have a lot of mountain lions{Was highest mountain lion population on the Wyoming side which butts up to the Montana side}. Lot of them bucks have come down to the private ranches also. Last time I was in there I seen more bighorn seep than deer
 
Thanks,
I wasn?t too worried about the meat it was more of the comical aspect of receiving the news the following morning. It's unfortunate that CWD has crept into Montana.
 
I know I made a mistake putting in for 510.
It was a last min decision fur mule deer hunt. Me and my buddy from Wyoming are stuck though. it can't be reversed. I know you and your dad hunted there last year. Anything, anything at all to point us in the right direction of finding a buck would be highly appreciated. I'm from New England, he's from Wyoming. We went to HighSchool together. He is a one-handed Iraq veteran,with a Purple Heart.He's only been hunting for 5 seasons.I'm trying to get him into it because he lives in Wyoming. I hope you can find the time for some advice. Thank you
 
Hunt near irrigated agriculture and you'll find some deer. Don't expect to see many deer or deer older than 2.5 years old. Enjoy it for what it is, and you'll have a fun time. Hope your friend gets into hunting, and thanks for his military service.
