Hey gang
I am a fairly new hunter. Unfortunately it wasn't something my family did growing up and so everything I am learning is through research and asking a lot of questions. I get that people don't want to give up their prized hunting spots, but I was lucky enough to pull a general elk tag in Montana this year and I would love any and all advice I can get. While I know I may do better soliciting feedback on Rokslide or HunterTalk, I figure there is a chance someone here has hunting Montana before and can give me some advice or guidance.
Ive camped in the rockies before but haven't had to navigate a dense grizzly bear population while hunting so I am hoping to identify a few spots that have less brown bear activity than around the parks. I will be camping with a friend who is certainly more experienced than I am, but also hasn't hunting elk out west before. Our intent is the camp fairly close to the truck and spend each day hiking in and out with lighter packs.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. If you're local to Canton, ill buy you a beer. Thanks everyone!
