Montana mule deer hunting tips?

[Chip93]

First time hunter in the state of Montana. Any tips, tricks, or anything I need to know? I know a lot about hunting the state but never can know too much and I know I don’t know enough to go out have fun and shoot a buck. Any tips would help. Thinking about going central/east.

Glass, glass, and glass some more.

I’ve hunted the breaks and south east, both times we just covered a ton of ground. It’s a target rich environment in both areas, but just takes time to find the right one in the right situation. Both hunts we drove around a lot and walked a lot to find what we were looking for.

Sounds like you got it figured out

I wouldn't go that far by any means, but it has worked out for me.

Get in shape and glass early mornings and last light. too many people run through an area, slow down

Definitely more active early and late but I'd add that during the rut you may find a buck on his feet anytime or you may find one bedded by picking an area apart mid day. It's definitely easier on their feet.

Sounds like you will be in the open country. Be behind glass at first and last light. And if your gonna "fill" the freezer, make it a whitetail

As noted be out at day break and last light the muleys up is not an elk rut but can be a lot of fun if you time it right
