Montana law does not require fluorescent orange for bowhunting, so full camouflage can be worn at all times.
However, rifle hunters must wear 400 square inches of blaze orange.
Quietness is one of the most important factors in bowhunting for elk, so please dress accordingly.
Our weather can change very quickly. Try and prepare for most situations, and temperatures from 65 degrees F to 10 degrees F.
We suggest dressing in layers (light to medium weight) so that you can maintain a constant body temperature. Shed layers if you heat up and add layers if you get cold.
Shoot under all conditions and angles, both standing up and from your knees. We have many shots missed because of leaning around trees and brush to shoot.
Be proficient with you bow out to 50 yards. Be sure to shoot with all hunting clothes on.
Make sure no articles of clothing are in the way, or the bow is being held different because of heavy clothes and thick sleeves.
