One other point I would make from my anecdotal hunting experience to consider, is how sensitive rut hunting is on the better antlered mule deer. I got to see that in real time in a Colorado unit that was basically a leftover for third season that I would hunt. When those dates got pushed back...
Thanks for the reply. I agree with a lot of your points. So your saying the last two weeks because heavier rut? This is anecdotal and keep in my mind I pretty much only hunt public land, but my hunting experience has been that 15-20 years ago in Montana you would still see some good muley bucks...
I’m curious why you don’t think our season structure ie rut hunting drives age structure and what is left on the landscape? Are you seeing large older age class bucks make it to winter range? For 15 years, I have collected and sent in hunter harvested deer to Masons lab for age analysis. It...

I’m glad you expounded upon what selective means to you as I was wondering that after I replied. Here is a hypothetical for another way I’m thinking on this selectivity thing. So I give you two tags for your favorite deer area. You get 5 days to fill each one. Your goal is as...
I think you simply make hunting harder to get a less selective harvest. For example if we were all packing trad gear we are way more likely to shoot whatever we can get to 20 yards or less from. By allowing rut hunting with a rifle for a long period of time we have made it as easy as possible...
Just an absolute gem of a human. She used her resources to do great things and lift people up, in great contrast to the recent crop of self serving wealthy elite. In a world full of Elons, be a Dolly.
You might be right on cost but they have also represented that additional data is largely unnecessary as current methods are adequate. And honestly if you’re never going to change anything…like ever…they are probably correct. Be sweet to see that data though regardless
This AI FOMO hysteria isn’t going to end well. It all feels eerily similar to 1999. I bet these IPOs will be the peak. Bought intel 8 months ago hoping for a double in a few years. Sold my entire position. It’s likely this could be a mistake but 500% in 8 months is whack
Getting multiple quotes sounds so refreshing. Where I live, you’re lucky to get one. It’s usually high and they never show up anyway and you end up doing it yourself lol
I think they thought they were just going to gaslight us. If you say it enough times, people believe you. It’s not like this hasn’t been a proven winning formula.

This convo has been enlightening to me and shows why imo Chief gave you a beat down. Still my all time favorite thread.
We will just agree to disagree.
