    Montana season change proposal

    @Randy11 don’t let the clown show get you down - your time and input is greatly valued. @Formidilosus don’t you have some scopes to drop or something?

    Montana season change proposal

    It's about "seeing big bucks easier"? Weird. I'm not sure what that means. Do you mean it's about "making it a possibility that a big buck, or an older buck is alive, or exists"? Because that makes more sense. There's never an "easier" time to see the biggest available bucks, than during...

    Never said "solving" the Bridger problem is not rocket science. There is Zero chance of solving that - it's 100% too much pressure. The hunting was in a vortex of that probably starting in the 90s.. Just my opinion and from talking with older locals. My best friend drew it this year, and he...

    Live in Bozeman. Hunted in Bridgers in the 80s and 90s and have numerous friends that have drawn recently and including this year. Used to regularly drive walker and baseline and glass after the season and look at the deer after heavy snowstorms. Somewhat familiar with what was and is, there...

    Montana season change proposal

    I'm voting myself into more opportunity. Trying to get out of "exerting a bit more energy" is an odd thing to suggest that folks are trying for who want to see an end to general, statewide hunting the entire month of November for mule deer.. Have seen hunting in MT spiral down the toilet bowl...

    Bridgers is a perfect example of a place being completely beat down by MT hunting management. Tiny mountain range with easy to find and hunt deer. A decade before the permit was established, the quality was better and the hunting pressure lower than now. There are probably more elk hunters...

    There's 3 outfitters, 3 landowners, and I'm guessing 8 of the 11 have never been on a paid/guided hunt at all.

    You are incorrect. That group includes everybody that has a role in how our state manages wildlife and enjoys hunting.

    A list of the "many" non-residents. Please point out which of those you're sure doesn't have MT best interests in mind. The group that is coordinating the meetings and input is: https://montanaconservationsocietymt.org/

    It's not surprising the the MBA crowd will froth at the mouth when you whisper shortening any archery hunting days. And the quickest way to infuriate a MT hillbilly is to tell them they shouldn't be shooting a roadside forked horn mule deer with it's nose in a does hind end.

    I’ve hunted region 3 for almost 40 years have only taken 1 mule deer. I’m not scratching my head as to why. Decades of hunting through November has a cost.

    Sorry I’ve got no sympathy for the clowns that preach it’s their God given heritage to stack up forkhorn horn rutting mule deer. Montana deserves better. The plan is a good one.

    Montana is WAY overdue to 1) split deer and elk seasons separately like EVERY OTHER STATE 2) stop November mule deer hunting, and 3) establish better limits on Non resident hunters for deer/elk.

    How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

    I see fewer and fewer each year. A decade ago and prior, I'd see a handful each season. In more recent years I usually only see 1 or 2 during a rifle season. In 2022 I shot the only one I saw. In 2023 I saw one smaller 6 point the entire rifle season and black powder season and did not take...

    How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

    I'll say from my experience the rifle bulls from SW MT were by far the most challenging hunts. Very very tough and my days of doing some of that are coming to a close if they haven't already.

    2023 Utah pronghorn back from taxidermist

    What a cool looking buck! Congrats. I've got my fingers crossed for Utah antelope, but odds aren't good for me as a NR, even with 15 points.

    How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

    "On command" is an inaccurate way of describing it, at least for me. I live where hunting (at least used to be) great and there were no shortage of 300" bulls around, and tags are OTC and months of season (archery and rifle). For me there's been a lot of time, scouting, days hunting, more than...
