(Billings) Montana’s general big game hunting season is in its final two weeks. After the first four weeks of the season, mule deer harvests have been below average for south-central Montana, while white-tailed deer and elk harvests have been similar to or above average.
Hunters in south-central Montana experienced mild temperatures with strong winds in some areas for the fourth weekend of the general hunting season according to reports from Montana’s Fish, Wildlife, and Parks agency.
Many hunters reported signs of the “rut,” or deer breeding season. Deer harvest can increase during this time due to increased deer movement and activity.
