Montana Whitetails
The warmer weather here in Southwestern Montana during the pre-rut phase has been keeping the buck activity slower than normal. We had some fantastic trophy mule deer hunting as they tend to be in the more open sage hills and are more visible in their pre-rut activities. The added exposure within their habitat they call home added for some exciting and successful stalks while focusing on key bedding and feeding areas. Some of the best bucks were those we saw for the first time all year. The best one shot pushed nearly 170 inches.
The riverbottom bowhunts for whitetails started off a little more difficult as the warm temperatures limited peak movement, but all the little bucks seemed to be cruising early and late. It wasn't until what we consider the peak activity for this area, around November 14th, and some much-needed colder weather that brought out the more mature bucks. One of the bucks harvested was a 9 point that had a split G-2 that we only saw twice during the early season.
Hunters that were here Thanksgiving week witnessed some awesome rutting activity and everyone saw several mature bucks going bonkers in the riverbottom. Their were a few bucks that we have been keeping an eye on and they are covering so much ground that it's only a matter of time before they walk within bow range of one of our hunters! The does dragged some dandy bucks by some of the guys and they took advantage of it. Below are just a few of the bucks killed.
Thats all for now, check out the season update and get more information on our Montana Whitetail riverbottom bowhunts at www.montanawhitetails.com.
