I’ve never hunted it personally but I know several guys that pulled the plug on that unit and went for greener pastures. You don’t know until you go and then you will.
I appreciate the time and effort that the CAC put into this. Hopefully something good will come out of their time spent doing it. Mixing threads a little bit but I can see where things are headed without major changes. FWP certainly isn’t going to save things.
Especially in my region.
FWP has been asleep at the wheel. While we sit and wait for good data the mule deer are going to continue to take a beating. FWP needs a reboot and their opportunity at all cost management needs to be thrown out the window.
Correction the commission limited doe tags. Our biologists advocated for continuing to eradicate them. Yet we are supposed to trust them. If anything gets done I certainly don’t expect fwp to support it.
For the people that are saying don’t take my opportunity away to hunt rutted up muleys they sure are offering their opportunity up pretty fast with LE. There is also the crowd that are saying extremely low buck to doe ratios are healthy. Studies coming from states where there is no general rut...

I would build a big beautiful wall around the great state of Montana. It would be Yuge. I would also deport the transplants and restore western Montana to its natural beauty.
I don’t feel like I’m giving up a thing with this proposal with the current “opportunity” I’ve experience mule deer hunting the last 10-15 years. It’s hard to watch the mule deer bucks getting mowed down when they are in zombie mode. I’m still yet to hear a compelling argument against an...
I do find it is funny the people that have cried you are taking my opportunity away, are suggesting things should go LE and take their opportunity away. Maybe Montanans don’t value opportunity maybe they value the opportunity to hunt when wildlife are vulnerable. Which leads us to LE. Not...
