    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    All numbers are wrong or you don't agree with the reasoning? Ill gladly remove the link if the numbers aren't correct or they are intentionally misrepresented On second thought, I have no way of backing up his claims so shouldn't have posted it. I'll remove it.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    I don't know anything about the guy, what he does, what his political affiliation is, or what his favorite elk rifle is. I don't really care who he is. The data, if correct, was my only reason for sharing. I will agree with your sentiment though, it is somewhat of a kick in the nuts that the...

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    You have every right but we have different ideas of respectful and I would label it as instigating. However, its an open forum, feel free to continue and I'll just choose to ignore.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    BMAs are not dieing. Sure some have dropped off but the program is not dieing. It's a great program that I utilize regularly. Do you ever get tired of telling Montanans how to manage their resource?

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    "Mountains" explains some of your experience and I enjoy hunting those too, but R6 and R7 are the primary NR destination for deer and many residents.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    More needs done, for sure, to improve herd. Season structure and tag structure needs adjusted. Ive stated my ideas elsewhere and still stand by them. This seems more an effort to reduce pressure. I suspect it's as much a minimal effort to shut people up as anything but I'm hopeful.

    R6 is no different but maybe ive not spent enough November's in R7.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    I probably shouldn't use any particular state as an example. It is surprising though the percentage of WA plates I see in the area I hunt. :) But.....for the most part they are as friendly as any of us and I have no problem with them.

    I don't think it'll have a huge difference but I'll take it. I hope it indicates someone is paying attention.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    Well, when Montanans can find more Washington plates than bucks, it tends to become a point of discussion. No, it's not all the NR's fault and I'd be a fool to think so. But cuts should start at the NR. I don't care what the budget implications are.

    Reduction in number of NR deer licenses

    Am I missing something here? Are they really reducing NR deer licenses by 2500? I'd be okay if it was reduced by more but seems like a start anyway. Montana reduces non-resident deer hunting licenses https://share.google/nuqKGPbmg6eBZ0UAw

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    My two sons' and mine. Oldest son 15 minutes into opener, 80 yard shot. My youngest and I went back this weekend. I felt we'd be lucky to find him one and two would require unexpected luck. We hunted this buck for a couple hours early but he crossed onto private so we left. We came back...

    HB 514 signed

    Considering the number of archery hunters in the mountains in September, a handful of bird hunters aren't going to be a factor, but that's just my opinion. We'll see how it plays out.

    HB 514 signed

    I purchased a MacBook not long ago. Considering I helped fund Apple, I believe I'm entitled to more than the MacBook and it's tech support. I'm not a shareholder but I have to be entitled to some of Apple's profits and a few perks. I think I'll go for a swim at the current CEOs estate this...
