Antelope rifle season opens with good bucks and good food

Saturday October 8th was the rifle season opener for antelope in Montana.  Reports from some areas in the eastern part of the state indicated that numbers were down a bit this year due to some severe winter conditions and a prolonged cold, wet spring.  Other areas in the state saw good numbers of antelope and some outstanding bucks.

Bow season continues through the 16th for deer and elk.   A special 2-day youth hunt for deer will take place October 20 and 21, before our general rifle season opener arrives on October 22.

October is just a very special month all the way around in Montana, with more hunting and fishing opportunities than a person can handle.  Waterfowl season is underway, upland bird hunters are enjoying some great shoots on pheasants, huns and sharpies, plus deer, elk, antelope, bear, sheep, moose, and mountain goat.  And to top it off, our Fall fishing is at its very best.

Please give us a call at Schnee’s (800-922-1562) (www.schnees.com) if you need any information or gear to make this Fall season your best ever.
