    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Not exactly. I’m saying get rid of the combo and set acceptable quotas for each species and manage them separately. I think your current proposal could possibly add NR hunters as an unintended consequence. Example being guys returning their deer portion to be resold to another NR because they...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    In regards to impacts on funding I think some revenue could be generated by actually splitting/getting rid of the NR big game combo. Charge the current seperate price for a deer tag And the price for an elk tag. Sell preference points for general deer license and general elk license. Once...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I seriously doubt you are gonna cut success rates in half by moving the season to October.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I read this argument being thrown out today - (paraphrasing) What does not hunting buck mule deer in November do to improve overall populations? It will/should improve the age structure but will not have a significant impact on overall numbers until the bucks start birthing fawns.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I don’t recall whether or not the no answers were being lumped into the satisfied percentage. Crappy if it was. I did a brief search and found a survey done last season. I don’t think this is the one I recall reading but the results appear similar...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I think the battle with FWP will be their “hunter satisfaction surveys” that are used as a crutch. IIRC roughly 60% of resident hunters were satisfied with their deer hunts and around 70% said that rut hunting and the opportunity to hunt mule deer bucks on thanksgiving were important to them. To...

    Any word on the MD committee/working group FWP was taking applicants for?

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    An extra preference point for one species of your choice for volunteering X amount of hours. Only valid once until you draw a tag.

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    I think WY officially had transferable landowner tags for cow elk this year and the landowner could charge a fee for the voucher. @BuzzH or @JM77 could expand on this and correct me where I’m wrong.

    Don’t get your hair on fire just doing some system maintenance. It’s back up and running.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    Sounds so simple, but this would have the quickest positive impact for deer. I often wonder what potential benefit there could be from getting rid of the combination (deer/elk) tag and staggering the seasons. I’d be interested to know how many deer die as victims of opportunity during an elk...

    Utard video

    I may be extra cautious but I even split/separate the muscles on the hind quarters to expose the bone to keep them from spoiling from the inside out, especially on an elk.
