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

[mtmuley]

Undereducated guess people are assholes and would probably turn dogs loose on birds that couldn’t fly.

It took until 2003 to figure it out? Hmmmmm... mtmuley

Did someone say sale? Where'd you find these? I've been looking to purchase one for my golden.

Just got this message this morning, check it out and hope you find something. Lots of good stuff for sale. @Ben Lamb

Haven’t shot a mule deer buck in 14 or 15 years now

I have 22 mule deer points. So 22 years for me. mtmuley

Folks recognize that if you want to kill a limit of birds from the trip you can't let those GD outsiders in chasing them off the gravel shoulders but also can't buy an 18 pack of beer if they have to pay a reasonable license fee, so they're going to drive around for the first week and kill all the dumb fledglings but then open-er up for the people actually willing to pay for conservation...

I'm being facetious.

But MT (and WY and ID and CO) is privileged that no matter how badly they screw up their wildlife, other states will have screwed theirs up worse and can bank on NRs waiting in line, with wads of greenbacks, for an opportunity at the last scrap.

Yep. And no matter what the problem is, the solution/answer is always further restricting or getting rid of non-residents.

This is not meant to be a challenge to Ben Lamb’s quite well-stated summary and reasonable justification of said regulation. Merely a recognition of the general trend.

If you go by NR per square mile, Idaho is and Colorado is not all that far behind Montana.

I think you’re wrong.

The answer to the universe is Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement.

Get after it folks. No birds get got when you're bitching on the interwebs.

See you this weekend, mountain grouse!

Can we debate which is the dumber bird, Mountain Grouse or Turkey?

it's always been duskies.

A turkey won't land on your gun barrel. A dusky will.

Although I've never had one land on my barrel, I imagine the only thing going through their heads, if they knew a song, would be Country Roads. On repeat, with the occasional "oop, better flush to the nearest stick looking thing", then go back to Country Roads again.
