otc montana sheep

[izzy69]

it well take forever to draw a tag for sheep so i was looking into montana they give you 5 units to chose from i narrowed it down to 2 does anyone have any insight or info to give

Tough tough tough... But at least you are hunting sheep.

Some units close quickly. Some units depend HEAVILY on migration. Tough hunts, but the easiest/cheapest way I know of to put a sheep tag in your pocket.

that's what i thought a tag in my pocket did some reseach i was going to get there 4 to 5 day before the season starts try and find some sheep and sit on them till the season starts

If you put in during the draw, you will receive the tag.

Most people go in a week early not 4-5 days...sometimes you'll need a full week to find a ram, sometimes in a week you won't find one.

So a non-res can put in for the draw and "for sure" get a tag, first try?

Yep. It might only be good for 48 hours though. That is the catch.

In the migration units, you might find a ram 2 days before the season opens, but he will be in Wyoming before opening day. It is definitely NOT an easy hunt.

I know a few people that made it work, but I will continue to roll the dice on limited units myself.

BB i have been researching this for a couple of years i had it narrowed down to two units until you brought up migration it didn"t come up in any of my research it"s something to think about i didn"t think they be migrating that early i"ve been app in three states for sheep i thought this could be a way to start hunting them until i draw one if i ever do and maybe i"ll get lucky and get one
