    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    As hilarious and ridiculous as this is, it shows how many people either don’t understand the effect we’re having on the resources as hunters and that many flat out don’t care about it as long as they get all the opportunity they want.

    It was a fun hunt and I enjoyed spending time in that country. That being said, it is far from a trophy unit, and it has gone downhill as far as quality since I was there in 2018. Enjoy the country and have realistic expectations.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    It spreads out pressure at least to some degree. Also, if you have more archery only guys, there should be less deer being taken(archery success rates are generally much lower) while still providing ample hunting opportunity for everyone.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I would honestly be 100% ok with the season structures the group proposed along with having to choose archery or rifle only.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I agree with you. I’m not trying to make more opportunity for bow hunters. There’s plenty. Just trying to come up with ideas to spread out pressure and make season structure changes work. Maybe it’s a dumb idea. Was just a thought.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Realistically, for those concerned about losing archery time for deer, you could move the start of the archery season a week or even two back into august. Other states do it. Bow hunters could get a week or two before upland bird hunting pressure starts as a bonus as well. That could allow for...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    For the big proponents of unlimited mule deer rut hunting, I’d say they want to kill a mule deer buck and not have to work very hard to do it, but I doubt any would admit that. I also love hunting rutting muleys but understand it’s not realistic for healthy populations unless very limited in...

    Not on Your Bucket List

    Haha! I definitely get why people wouldn’t want to shoot a zebra. I hunted Africa in 2012 and would easily take western big game over it any day. That being said, zebra were by far the most cagey animal I hunted there and the most fun, and a mature stallion was as spooky and challenging as any...

    Not on Your Bucket List

    Wild hogs are about the only thing that comes to mind. I’ve killed turkeys but they don’t do anything for me. Other than that, I just love to hunt so pretty much anything is fair game.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    We certainly have our share of issues with resident hunters. I’m hopeful this will be a good committee of conservation minded resident hunters. From what I’ve seen as far as non resident hunters in eastern MT, I wouldn’t say the rest of the country has much to brag about either. Lol

    12 deer points in WY, what area to apply for?

    😂👍. I can’t believe how many guys deer hunt in that area.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I was the same way. They will kill them in numbers pretty efficiently on ice or deep snow like you mentioned.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    yotes are pretty impressive as survivors and killers. There’s a small fishing dam near us on the edge of a small town. They’ve learned to push the mule deer out onto the ice when there’s little to no snow and slippery. They can’t move any good on that slick ice. I’ve witnessed several times...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    You think there are a lot of coyotes until you talk to the guys shooting them out of the planes. It’ll blow your mind. I know of a ranch(not a huge ranch) with a feed lot that they flew last winter and killed around 150 in a day just on and right near that ranch.

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never felt wronged by another state charging me way more than they would a resident to hunt/fish, and im certainly not swimming in cash, or maybe taking 10 years to draw what a resident can every year or two. But I also don’t feel owed anything by anyone either I...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    There are coyotes everywhere it seems anymore. There was a local guy who sat a dead pile at a nearby feedlot this winter for about 4 hours one night this winter. He shot 41 coyotes with his suppressed rifle.
