Not sure, or if they are made of slightly different material. They are the same shape. Only difference I can TELL is the Montana has a rough texture and the MA is smooth.
Thanks for the replies everyone! No garbage dumps or salmon where I’ll be hunting so it sounds like it is good to keep. I hadn’t heard a ton about bear meat so I’m glad to see it is worth saving. Thanks again and happy hunting in 2024 😃
This will be my first year hunting bear... spring AND fall most likely... and if I'm lucky enough to get one, I'm curious as to harvesting the meat as well, or just taking the hide/skull/etc? I'll be hunting Utah where taking the meat is not required. Just kind of curious what "most" people do...
