    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Playing devils advocate then…if they all get pushed to private anyway during an October deer season then what’s it really matter if that’s how it already is?

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I understand where you’re coming from, if I’m getting it correctly basically changing the status quo on deer to a different general season stands to pose a threat to the elk hunting you know, whereas going to deer LE in your mind helps the deer situation and keeps the elk hunting the same as you...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    @Shed God Season structure, antler point restrictions, Weapon types, combo of general season dates and LE dates are some options that come to mind. But let me answer a question with a question. You’re an elk hunter it sounds like, and based off your last handful of posts it sounds like one...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Yes, LE would be the best way to produce older and sometimes big antlered bucks. But as you all know there is more to hunting than big bucks and imo the goal should be healthy populations and age structure of the resource, not strictly large antlers. Not every area or region will produce large...

    MT Mule Deer Age data accuracy and reality

    1) 5, 4 mule deer bucks and 1 whitetail doe. 2/3)1 aged by FWP. It was at the CWD check station outside of Libby, a whitetail doe. They took the time to look at the teeth and aged it at 4.5. Based off the size and appearance of the doe of the doe and condition of the teeth I would have...

    MT Mule Deer Age data accuracy and reality

    It is frustrating to hear these guys acknowledge around the 1:21 mark that they don’t have the data to make informed management decisions. It is obvious that essentially zero data has been collected by FWP in regards to deer harvest, and here, among elsewhere I’ve heard people bring this issue...

    Nevada 061/071 archery cow

    Sounds like you’re looking at the right spots. I’ve hunted the unit and was going to send you a PM, but looked at the NDOW hunter information sheet before doing so. All the info on the hunt information sheet is good. Expect other people in the area. It is what it is, there will still be elk in...

    10 points next year puts you in the money in a lot of good places.

    South Dakota elk tag, to guide?

    How long is the season? Do bulls live on public or does the guide fee pay to get you on private? Did I read that corrrect 6k for a couple days of guiding? That seems really steep. I know absolutely nothing about SD elk so take this with a grain of salt. With limited tag #s, presumably time to...

    Wyoming deer Special draw odds??

    The deer hunt I was planning to apply for was removed this year. The antelope I was going to apply for jumped by about a point and a half… so at this point I’m totally back to the drawing board. Speaking of antelope specifically I have 5 points and after 2023 draw odds were updated to the hunt...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Not bad, but I don’t really like the idea of eliminating general mule deer hunting in November completely, I’d perhaps either argue for October 15-November 15 general dates or the creation of limited entry permits for general units to allow hunting for some into November.
