Hunters in Hunt District 703, Montana, report success with mule deer, emphasizing mid to late November as a prime time, especially utilizing spot-and-stalk techniques on BLM land and private ranches accessible through state partnerships. A common strategy is to get away from roads, hike the coulees, and keep the wind at your face to increase chances of spotting game. Elk sightings are limited, so while a chance encounter on public land is possible, hunters might fare better focusing on mule deer and some pronghorn, or considering other units for elk hunts. It’s recommended to monitor draw odds and consider alternate lists for increased chances of securing tags in this area.
