any suggestions for a public land hunt that would have even a slim chance of success.

22wrf -

2 suggestions. the first is the area north of lewistown, south of the missouri river and northwest of highway 191. here's a rudimentary map of the area:



i have hunted here; saw a lot of antelope and was able to take a fine doe whil my dad got a small buck. i forget the district number, but it can be found at montana's FWP site which i mentioned earlier.

another good place (i don't have a map for this one) is the area south of the milk river, north of the bears paw mountains, west of the little rockies and east of the hill county/blaine county line. this is district 690, and i will most likely be looking for antelope there this fall. the area directly north, which runs to canada, is also good, but i am not as familiar with it. while i know this area much better, and it would certainly be much less crowded, i would have to say that the area near lewistown would probably have a bit more public land. success here (district 690) has been better for me, but that is probably mostly due to my familiarity with the area. the opportunities would be about equal for a good hunter.

one big advantage of the lewistown area is that if you get any elk or mule deer hunting in that area, you could combine the hunts in a relatively small area. i have seen good numbers of antelope in both areas, and quite a few big boys.

Based in Ekelaka, there are vast BLM lands available. Just west of Camp Crook, S. Dakota is the Montana line but the 'lopes are unaware of state boundaries. Nearly uncountable 'lopes in this almost un-inhabited area.

The virtually deserted campground/park at the historic old spring would be a good base, too. Good map will show you this spot, a short drive from Camp Crook. Years ago, the Hoag family owned this land, now it's a park/campground. We knew this family. Old man was blind since teen accident but he could do nearly anything a sighted person could do. I watched him re-build Grandad's carberator when I was just a hayseed kid.

Good hunting to you.
