When I was in NE Montana a few weeks ago I saw a wheeled ice house parked on state land…with MN plates.
Overall pressure seemed down slightly. At least fewer people out walking and maybe more out road hunting.
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned in all the numerous posts, but how about limiting the season to 3 weeks for Region 6 & 7 every other year. This would apply to R and NR. The seasons would have to match up in both or there would be a stampede to the other during rut hunting.
The same number...
I think we are going to see more landowners pull their land from Block Management. Besides the numbers of hunters, I think it’s the lack of appreciation shown. Whether it’s in-state or out of state hunters, they think public land is theirs because it’s public and they can do whatever they want.
