2025 MT Crazies Elk/Deer

[Dschwan]

This year was my first hunting Montana, I hunted otc Colorado for the last 8 years and I never imagined that I would see that amount of hunters outside of Colorado. I was definitely taken back by the experience.

Just think, someone just getting started is going to reflect on a situation like this and call it the good old days!

The more I look into this and get feedback, I'm considering the Little Belts. Probably the same with crowds, but at least there's more acreage. Input?

Asking for input on the internet is what contributes to these issues. Just go hunt quietly and keep it off the web. No one can go into the elk woods without a handout it seems these days. Pretty sad!

Couldn't believe the number of rigs parked all along the road there this year. Had people pull over within 200 yds while we were flashing headlights at them. Gave up and went elsewhere.

that pressure is discouraging...but maybe that's the point...

10 times might be a little bit of an understatement, this was during archery season. What you can’t see is the 15 other vehicles + stock trailers parked just behind me on the road.

counted 34 trucks here september 15th

Im also from PA and I think you're in for a rude awakening, First off a mile or two won't help. Plus you better be in great shape. Elk are there but the pressure is just unreal. Better options imo
