Hi everyone. I recieved my general elk tag for montana in the mail last week. Has anyone hunted 324 or 327. Are there good numbers of elk in these areas? Which unit is better?
both can be good, not as many elk as there used to be though. bear population is up considerably in 324. a few wolves scattered around 327 but, not many.
yesterday, a small thunderstorm rolled through the south end of the snowcrest gravelly complex and started the "Eureka" fire, it's fairly close to the intersection of the centennial divide road and the eureka basin road.
this effectively cancels my trip as we usually camp just across the vally from this fire.
if you do go, the elk will either go east into the madison range, or south into idaho.
the local biologist said the fire kind of bounced around pretty good, leaving pockets of forage and browse so, there really shouldn't be any problems, even hunting the burn area.
pm me when you get back and let me know what you saw/shot, etc.
