Montana 2026 Elk Proposal

[golfer]

From my understanding if a guy pulls 410-21 he would need to burn his general elk tag with it when he harvested. But if he had also drawn 410-00 he is now no longer able to legally fill that tag because it would also require to punch your general. I don’t hunt this unit but I also believe that if you draw the 410-00 tag you are allowed to shoot 2 cows and one being tagged with your general elk tag. If I have this wrong please inform me. On the phone Ian told me 1 elk on public that’s it.View attachment 394033

The 2 for 1 is no more.

We could solve a lot of this in central Montana by having a spine.

Think the elk would still be fakely overpopulated if the 411 bull tag was only valid on public land and you could buy 5 cow tags for $1 a piece on private land?

I bet the objectives would adjust to reality real fast.


I like this proposal especially for the western part of the state.
Ian is a good guy.

Just got done reading some comments on Facebook about the new proposals. I never thought I’d ever see the day residents are almost unanimously voicing support for reducing their own opportunity to help herds recover. Kinda feels like the tables are turning.

Excellent. Now find a legislator who will sponsor a bill to separate the NR deer and elk tags.

It sure feels like now’s the time to strike. I like to pay attention to the social media comments to see what the general consensus is. Ive never seen nearly this much support for reducing opportunity by hunters here. In the past, it’s unanimously all pro opportunity at all cost.

Stop beating around the bush with these ideas. Just shoot them from a helicopter and donate the meat to the poor MT hunters that can't afford to pay a reasonable price for a hunting tag. That is the most direct solution.

If we upped the resident prices what would the non residents have to whine about?

Pretty sure the residents will make up for it.

I would like to see you try it and we find out. I don’t see a lot of NRs whining.
