It’s so much more than that. It’s us as people and the fact we all want to screw the other party over. Even our conservation groups just wanna turn it into a dick measure contest if they are one that even does want a change since some don’t and think it’s great. Until people are willing to sacrifice the only thing that will get sacrificed is our deer.

Fact is the residents are the biggest crowd unwilling to give up anything.

Probably the most accurate internet post I’ve seen in years

I genuinely believe it isn’t that they don’t wanna give up anything but that they want the credit for making a change and if they can’t get the credit they will derail any progress towards a positive change.

They aren’t gonna give up hunting the rut . That’s not gonna happen. The rest of what you said is true

As a resident I would gladly give up the rut, but we would have to cut back tags dramatically. If we kept the same amount of hunters but shortened the season by 2 or 3 weeks then the overcrowding will be that much worse. The state makes a ton of money off of NR hunters and probably care more about their opinion then ours honestly. I don't think fwp gives a shit about what residents think.
But man we gotta get like a resident/non resident coalition together and work together. Surely the state can't ignore us both.....

If there was any actual sense in the way non resident tags are allocated, the number that has been issued wouldn’t be nearly as big of an issue. Also, the biggest hurdle to any positive change, in my opinion, is MT residents unwilling to sacrifice any of their opportunity. Im sure residents in other states are just as unreasonable in their own states from my experience as well. It’s amazing and embarrassing to me how many hunters are unwilling to make the smallest concessions to at least attempt to improve game populations and herd health.
