Montana’s antelope season opener in south-central Montana has seen harvest and hunter numbers that are similar to recent years but remain below the long-term average, according to the Montana Outdoor Radio Show. The show reported that while there has been a steady flow of hunters in the area, the overall success rate has been lower than expected.
Despite the lower numbers, hunters are still enjoying the experience of being out in the field and have seen some success in harvesting antelope. The show also noted that the weather has been a factor in the lower harvest numbers, with warm temperatures affecting the movement of animals.
It is important for hunters to be patient and persistent in their efforts to harvest an antelope, as the animals can be elusive and difficult to track. The show recommended that hunters scout the area before the season opens and look for signs of antelope activity such as tracks, droppings, and grazing patterns.
Overall, the show expressed optimism for the remainder of the antelope season and encouraged hunters to continue their efforts to harvest an antelope. While numbers may be lower than average, there is still potential for a successful hunting season in south-central Montana.
