Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

[Rack Daniels]

you question how they did and I’m asking why you haven’t. I have killed bulls within 45 min of my house on public

Correct, I question how they did. I do not question how i haven’t. They already told me they were hunting with some local guys that know the area. I don’t have one of those. Well; I have a Gasner that has said “the elk are within 45 min of his house” but that’s not the same “help” as the kind of help they had.

Now, if you or anyone that actually knew about Billings area elk wanted to go hunt with me and show me there are really elk within 45 min of my house- THAT would be the same as their situation.

Because It’s not like they boots-on-the-ground scout more than me, they don’t read more on the internet about habitat, population and distribution, pressure, agriculture, prior success or anything more than me. I can guarantee it!

It’s not what we know, it’s who we know. I’ve said that since I shot my first elk at 15 and it’ll never change.

The Who you know just doesn’t hold water for me sorry. I’ve killed elk in 5 states on public diy I don’t know people in Colorado or Idaho I showed up and put in the work. You guys put elk up on the pedestal and act like they are some mythical creature. They really aren’t that hard to kill. I’ll give you a tip about our local elk they are very nomadic you can hunt the same spot 6 days and not see a elk and day 7 they are in there spot for about 15-20 min where you can hunt them. It’s time in the field bud

Sounds like it's a dog shit attitude holding you back.

If i can do it anybody can do it.

Bullshit. They admitted to having inside info and they haven’t spent more time in the field than me. It holds all the water for me. Last inside info I got I walked in and found elk in the first few hours and we shot a 6 point.

I probably have the best attitude about not filling tags than anyone you know
