Well I'm in Wyoming. Haven't drawn a bull tag (in my area for hunting) and the chances are getting slimmer..mainly because of the wolves. Reduced the elk herds really badly. Antelope is mainly because of my area to hunt. There are some open areas in the state. Personally I do not agree with the outfitters getting a guaranteed number of tags. But they make it hard for nonresidents to hunt without an outfitter..so the outfitters get the business anyway. Montana is getting pretty bad on elk too. An awful lot of antelope north and east of Billings Not hard to get a tag ..or it wasn't. I have been on both sides of the outfitter issue. Wish you luck on the lopes ..Where are you going to be hunting?? Where are you staying in Mt?? What kind of AR are you taking? What caliber for lopes? Remember the wind...even for lopes..It blows an awful lot up that way. If you can get some shooting in on a windy day..it will make you a believer in wind drift.. It did me for certain. I use a 257 AI or the 257 Weatherby for antelope.. BTW if ya happen to see a big black coyote..SSS Nah..maybe ya better not!!
