When the bird hunting in Montana is good, it is hard to beat, wonderful state to hunt. I need to get back up there and have been considering looking into big game as well. The block management program should be what all states model access programs after. It has been a few years for me but I sure do love it up there. I too love to Pheasant hunt and have had Springers for the last 20 years. Hard to beat a day of walking behind the dogs.
