Central Montana 2020 Bird Season
Just got home yesterday after 3 weeks in the Lewistown, Montana area. It was a late spring with moderate to heavy summer rain and little to no hail to date. They are having a bumper crop of grasshoppers, great chick food! Based on the number of chicks I've observed we should have an above average season for Sharptail and Pheasants however the Hun population is still down. But the bad news is you BETTER be prepared for rattlesnakes. Every rancher I talked to all said it's the worst rattlesnake year they have seen in at least the last 20 years. I averaged killing 2 a day for three straight weeks!!!
