    I guess that is kind of my point, at what point does the line get drawn and what is the justification for drawing it? Remember, FWP is going to be the one making that determination. The chance of them decreasing tags from the median harvest is essentially 0. I find it more likely they...

    Median total (NR and R) Mule Deer buck harvest in R7 over the last 20 yrs is ~8700. So, you would decrease that by more than half?

    Here is the visual representation of what @DFS is talking about. Total MD buck harvest over the same period has been roughly flat (with protrusions based on the ebb and flow of population).

    I include you in "others". Also, PM'd you.

    For all those saying R6 and R7 have too much pressure (I'm not arguing, just looking for thoughtful responses), what metric would you use to set the caps on those regions for NR, R or total? @DFS @Flatbrimmer or others?

    NR kill MD bucks at significantly higher rates than residents, for one.

    There is no ability to pull temporal data (ie harvest dates) the way FWP currently collects their harvest data.

    But 7 is the most any one person can carry, unless I'm mistaken.

    Resident deer license purchased have been stagnant for 20 yrs, via FWP harvest data. There is data to show NR are having an impact specifically on mule deer, among other things. We recognize both groups present problems and we chose to not single 1 group out.

    That is true. It is going to be an enormous push to get buy in from other groups (ie outfitters) for any kind of regional capping. Plus, regional caps are a stop-over on the way to LE, which the department nor outfitters (or many others) want. Hence, why we chose the incentive route.

    Using your own logic, pick your region could make it even worse in eastern MT, which is the same thing we considered when we removed it.
