Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

[DFS]

Just got this in the mail this week and was impressed with the details of the survey. Good to see they're including antler measurements and proper aging techniques. Does anyone know if this is a new survey for deer permits? Ill probably call the bio and pick his brain and I can report back.

Well that’s something, good for them
for trying to collect data, sorry for your luck on the tag you drew.

I knew what I was getting into. Looking forward to it. Pulling the boat up next week to do some fishing and bow hunting.

I think there was a time when they gave out 15-25 tags there I know it spiked to 200 at some point and I think it is on its way back down as far as tag numbers go.

Sounds like a great experience no matter what you see for horns . It will be a great trip

Yeah they've had it capped at 100 tags the 3 previous seasons. I haven't hunted region 6 since 2023 which was pretty much rock bottom based on my observations. Hopefully its improved some since

Enjoy the trip, great that they are actually trying to collect data out of the unit.

Reading the last few pages reminds me why I don't hunt Montana anymore.
