Understand, for someone new to this forum, as well as learning where one can come out to SD and hunt, I have no time to read between the lines. I'm 66 years old. I'm asking for help mind you, not immature BS. I'm not saying this to be an asshole. I make very little money on retirement, and I'm planning maybe what might be a once in a life time hunt to come out.

Best advice if you want to learn is go to the SD forum here and read reports from the last three years. Take some notes and you will see some very clear directions become evident. If you expect someone to just say go here, here and here you may be in the wrong spot. Have helped many that have come here with a good attitude and willing to do the research with some specific spots and info and even as far as offering private land access. Good luck with the research and your hunt next year.
Thanks Bob, Appreciate your help very much
I would PM Goose if I was you. Sounds like the two of you may make a good pair to Share a tent and do some hunting together.
All kidding aside, Montana is tough at times.Crunchy snow,cold,wind.We lost 2 yesterday, private land.Central Montana can be good,but it's a learning curve just like Dakota.Im going back in January.I did see birds last year,but they were very smart!Still tryin' to crack Montana. Gooseplays his cards close to the vest. I know in Big Sky Country that Hilger is good, sometimes you can accidentally hunt private ranches for years without knowing it, there might be birds on the high Canadian, hunt with gooses cousin if you want permission on private ground(but be prepared to dodge bbs or high tale it out of there when a turkey or combine is peppered). I also know to avoid public that is loaded with suburbans and high-brow hunters. Don't pay to hunt. Don't hunt with these video guys. Avoid blue-blood Gucci ranches with pen raised birds. And don't dump mud where anybody will see you, that's low bagger.
