I guided elk , bear and deer hunters out there for a while. There are quite a few birds in certain areas, and they dont get hunted too much. Very few of the locals even bothered with them. I was about an hour south of glacier. I know there were quite a few birds in the Thompson Falls area and the areas surrounding it. Montana is very vague on the turkey license and requirements and such. I know some areas around there are draw only and others are over the counter. I think you may have missed the draw for this season, but i dont know for sure on that. If you have any more questions, just ask. I have some outfitter friends that I can talk to and get you more info. My dad and I were supposed to go out this season on a combo bear and turkey hunt, but have a major home addition to build that got in the way of hunting.
