We have one opening for a week hunt on the milk and it can be up to 2 hunters. The hunt will be end of October and just before Trad Barta. I would like this to get filled with a trad. hunter.
Should be some nice deer around but right now we are shed hunting with snorkle and fins. The Mighty Milk River has spead its backs with all the snowfall we had this year.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting,
Someday when I am not tied to a classroom that would be excellent.
I hunt all over MT, but never on the milk. Good luck this year :thumbsup:
Can you pm with more info.cost Ect.Thanks
I would caution anybody hunting the Milk the next few years at least, lots of dead deer floating around right now, and the quandry yet to be figuered out is at least 50-75 % of the alphalfa fields are underwater and will be totaly submuerged for well over a month the alphalfa will be dead and the food base for a lot of these deer is gone or dramaticly changed, its takes a while to replant the haycrops and for them to be productive again. Its going to be real crap shoot this fall.
Howler, I heard the same. Sad to say the least.
yes it is a sad situation and it is going to be for a few years if it don;t flood again next spring,
UPDATE: Although there has been a severe die off of Whitetail deer in northeast Montana the food base problem that was predicted seems to be lessening, the alphalfa feilds are responding better than exspected, The deer population in the past 15 years has been way above normal levels,, and now are back to what is considered normal for the riverbottoms, like fish in a pond to many fish = small fish,, biomass is what its all about.
UPDATE: 6-2-11 the Milk has flooded again and my orginal thoughts about the food base are nearly confirmed, terrible situation, a very high percentasge of the food base for the deer is all gone. Patterns will change dramaticly and the winter food supply for the remaining deer are vastly impacted.
