At the six northwest Montana check stations, a total of 2,566 hunters checked 83 white-tailed deer, 12 mule deer, and 19 elk for a 4.4 percent rate of hunters with game. This compares to a 4.0 percent rate of hunters with game last year. Of the whitetails checked, 34 were bucks and 49 were antlerless. Fewer B-tags were available this year, and could be part of the reason for relatively low harvest of antlerless whitetails.
