Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

[Ben Lamb]

Residents get the first 10 days of MT Upland on public land, and private lands enrolled in Block Management and Open Fields (UGHEP). Great team effort from Republicans and Democrats, hunters, local business owners, ranchers and outfitters to find a sweet spot to give Montanans some priority over NR's.

It’s nice to seem them all band together to collectively f$&@ the people paying for the access they enjoy

Private land and Mtn grouse are still open those 10 days to NR's. You can always go hunt a preserve as well if you'd like. And honestly, the first 10 days of prairie grouse season are hard as hell on dogs. October is where it's at. The 10 day priority applies to pheasant and turkey as well.

The increase in base license and increases in license fees for upland and waterfowl hit in 25. Based on the PLPW report I heard from fiscal last week, there's a liklihood they are contributing to a decline in revenue.

E=MC2 and all that.

As someone whos never hunted montana - do you feel shorted?

I suddenly have found myself liking spring turkey hunting recently. This has been great. There needs to be similar accommodations made for big game seasons.

I have not been on Hunt Talk for quite sometime. If feels like every time I visit, you are complaining about something. This is a good reminder why I spend so little time here.

Move to Montana if you want to hunt birds the first 10 days…problem solved.

First 10 days of archery and last 10 days of rifle seems like a fine place to start.

Thanks to all those who laid the collaborative groundwork!

It’s a bummer to hear you’re put off by my posts, @Buschy. Hope you have a nice fall, good luck out there

I will. I hope you do as well.

But non residents can still train their dogs during the same wait period residents are hunting?
