    MT- M/S/G results 26

    I stand corrected. That would be a pleasant surprise if they came out this week.

    Nevada - Is it Worth it?

    I did not. Hunts that end in unpunched tags typically aren’t that exciting to read about.

    Nevada - Is it Worth it?

    I drew an archery deer tag in NV last year. A landowner deer tag in that unit goes for about $17k. I could apply for NV for the rest of my life and not spend even close to that much, so in my case it was worth it.

    Missouri Spoonbill opener

    My next question was to ask if trolling is legal there. Makes a lot more sense now. Trolling and using Livescope for paddlefishing are both illegal here in Montana.

    That is wild. How were people catching them there before Livescope? Is there structure that concentrates them enough that you can reasonably expect to catch them by blind casting?

    Montana draw 2026

    Yes. You can choose to only keep the elk portion. When that happens, the deer portion gets allocated to someone else (referred to as "orphaned" deer tags).

    Stories from Hunter Ed

    The only thing I remember from my class is the instructors would randomly pass around fake wood rifles and you had to make sure it was unloaded and avoid pointing the gun at anyone while passing it around. If you forgot to make sure it was unloaded or you didn't handle it safely, you had to go...

    Maybe it is quality then. There's still thousands of deer tags available. I just can't imagine someone thinking "there's 2500 less tags, so its not even worth my time to apply."

    I doubt its got much to do with a reduction of 2500 tags either. My guess would be gas prices and inflation.

    MT NR 10% Permit Cap?

    Yes, the 10% cap doesn't apply when the resident applications are below the quota.

    Correct

    Montana draw 2026

    I’m sure I’m biased as someone that’s been able to hunt deer here every year since I was 12, but I’m not sure it’s worth it for $900.
