    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    The success of this proposal going forward will be based in part on its merits, but more so on its delivery and how good the originators are in crafting palatable responses to silence the public issues that arise. Whether or not those responses have any meat to them is another discussion. They...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Those my thoughts, neither plagiarized nor regurgitated from another source. I live in region 3 and shot my last mule deer 26 years ago in region 5 on my grandfathers place. I concede my logic against the October MD season is a stretch for sure. But, no more so than the arguments supporting...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Its already been stated earlier in this forum that change is coming. This administration and legislative body is not the one I would choose to carry forward changes in revising hunting seasons and regulations. I'm not a big fan of FWP, but in their defense I say they take a lot of low blow...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I guess a quick survey of the Block Management records for hunter home addresses or even special permit applications would give an idea as to how much effort folks are willing to put forth to hunt.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    It's not so much the migration of elk onto private. But the migration of rifle hunters from one season to the next. On paper it can be portrayed as reducing overcrowding when dividing hunting effort/over a longer 8-week duration. However, i believe that the "effort" value overall will...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I see it as it may at the 50,000 foot level view disperse statistical crowding across the entire state as a whole over the period of duration in that it essentially adds two more weeks of hunting opportunity. From my experience, outside of the final week of the month and the youth hunt there is...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    And, I'd bet that the November Elk season will be an overcrowded mess with significantly more folks concentrating solely on public land Elk HUNTING. I feel the potential negative effects to Elk hunting will far out weigh any potential benefits to the Mule deer under this proposal.

    The Rinella Effect

    one can apply to every state in the union and that doesnt increase your odds in Montana, and each individual in the group has the same odds.

    The Rinella Effect

    I've always been amazed how lucky (collectively) an extremely small group of video content producers have been in drawing some of the most difficult the tags in which to produce content. A hand full of people at best, producing videos that have drawn multiple Elk, Moose, Sheep as well as Goat...

    Mule Deer Permit Only, why not?

    It provides for the landowner preference, direct management of mule deer and provides fair public hunting opportunity. Just saying, we've observed major changes in landownership the last few years and the changes that have come with it. A similar situation is playing out in the outfitting...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Going to permits would possibly put a wrinkle in that, particularly in the beginning with a lot of residents already sitting on a bunch of bonus points ready to be applied to new permit only districts. It could be 5-6 years before the existing bonus point holdings are washed through the system...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Why are MOGA affiliates so involved in this. I would think the majority of those properties outfitted are managed for both quantity and quality based on the clients expectations. Is this really about Mule Deer or separating seasons to better accomodate existing and new clients. I fail to see...

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I think you just answered the collar question, a collar on a mule deer buck irregardless of age would be a death sentence.

    I second the CZ scout. I bought one for my youngest and it is one that would be definitely suitable to be passed down for generations.

    The End

    Wont happen, voters are unable to reach the polls for fear of their own safety. So they continue to perpetuate the situation.
