Thanks a bunch everyone, been pouring over google earth, maps, magazines, regs..... It's unit 503, the Pryor Mtn range south of Billings along the WY/MT line. Got a friend that is a retired biologist and should be able to put me on a truck load of info.
The scary part is I've never stepped foot into that part of MT. A buddy advised me to give it a whirl, he killed a nice ram in there a few years ago. Can't raise him on the phone yet but will tomorrow.
Almost 300 apps and only 3 tags, how ya like them odds ;) WOW!!

Whatcha planing on using Bridger Mountain LB, a'curve, or whatever? Give us a story on your hunt so we can vicariously go with you!
One other thing, your luck maybe still peaked, better try "Powerball" just in case it is!

Hey Brian, can ya work out maybe a month and a half ;)
Things are looking good, gonna try and get over there this weekend.
Mt does have a pref point system, I was maxed out but so are several thousand other people I'm sure.
Right now I plan to go high tech ;) I'll be carrying my Widow LB.
Really appreciate everybodies support. I plan to take lots of pics and try to keep y'all up to date.
Thanks again!
