Howdy guys!
I have a few quick questions and I'm hoping you may be able to help. I have a great dog (well, best buddy, and pretty good hunter) who deserves to see some grouse/huns before his hunting days are over, so I'm planning on heading to Montana this fall. I've tried looking around on the Montana Fish & Wildlife page and while it's helpful it hasn't gotten me all the way there yet.
General plan was to head up towards the Miles City area and attempt to hunt public land (or Block Management) but it looks like much of the Region 7 BML is "Type II" and requires some sort of different permission?
I guess my questions are two: 1) If I'm looking for sage grouse, huns & sharpies is that even the right part of the country to be looking? & 2) do I have a decent chance of finding some birds on public ground or I am I just spitting into the wind?
I really appreciate any help you folks could offer.
