Montana Duck Hunting Tales, Sports

Ducks across the Big Sky
To hunt ducks in Montana--where the land breathes history--is to experience extremes in geography, weather and wildlife. The breadth of mountains and prairie is unlike anywhere else in the Lower 48. Both the Central and Pacific flyways span the state's iconic wetlands, rivers and lakes. Hunting opportunities abound thanks to the state's wildlife conservation legacy on public and private lands. Hunters walk in the footsteps of plains Indians, Lewis and Clark and mountain men while looking for a spot to pitch decoys. Embark on an epic and distinct Big Sky journey with author and hunter Matt Wemple, where a moose or grizzly bear could stroll through the decoys at any time.
