Hey All,
Over the past 5 years or so, I've taken advantage of the Block Management Program in Montana. Big success no problems. I recently contacted a few of the ranches that I normally hunt to see how the deer/elk population looks and just find out if there have been any changes. According to the Block Management Regs, you can't make reservations until August 22nd. That's usual. Anyway, so as I'm talking to these ranchers, it becomes clear that they are already full booked for this year! What? It's their land and I didn't challenge them at all, but if your in block management and the book says you take reservations, but I can't make reservations until August 22nd....and now your saying your completely booked for this year...ya see what I'm saying. As it turns out, it appears to be the case with every ranch that I contacted in that area. Just doesn't seem right, since the ranches get reimbursed by the State to let hunters on their land.
Am I off on this? Thanks boys.
