Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

It would be pretty easy to figure out the break even NR : R ratio where BMA contributions are equal.....
Not sure what you mean - i am comparing NR upland hunter to NR big game hunters.
This seems an appropriate place for this...

Selling more otc lics that pay more to landowners than fwp takes in only exacerbated the problem.
 
Wife wanted to go look for an antelope this morning. Stopped at a BMA to sign in. Two books full and people were filling out their information on scrap paper they had in their vehicle and sticking them in the backs of the books

If you’re a local there - why are you slumming piss-pounded BMAs with your wife?
 
Prefer to not bother landowners. Didn’t realize they were just for out of staters and western Montanans. Sorry sir won’t happen again.
Could I offer a little cheese with your wine on finding places to hunt over there? Must suck to have so few places to recreate where you live that do not involve over hunted BMAs, foreigners, or bothering ranchers. May I suggest trying things out in the land of outdoor peace and hunting solitude- gallatin county..

I just called and cancelled a type 2 walk-in spot we had for Sunday (over there). Would have been great hunting. Need a hot tip? You could take my spot since we filled out on BLM.
 
It’s hard for me to blame people for going and doing what I love to do anymore within the bounds of the current system. We are all seeking the same thing. I don’t have any more right to be there than they do.

I don’t see things changing anytime soon. There are still good times to be had, but the landscape sure looks a lot different, and I don’t think it’s sustainable for the resource. I’ve been trying to keep a better perspective on it all, but a better perspective doesn't help change things for the better I guess.
 
I’ve been out and about the last couple days I think there is going to be some sad deer hunters this year. I didn’t think I would see deer numbers lower than back to back bad winters in the 2010’s but here I am. Yes I’m a sniveling bitch.
