Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

I can see why MT FWP has a hard time managing species. They cant even get the species correct. Congrads to the two hunters and its not their fault the FWP doesnt know the difference between a whitetail or mule deer.

That collage intern running FWP’s Facebook page probably isn’t representative of the competency across the board….🤔

Im willing to bet whoever does there social media probably isnt a hunter and there was a mix up. Could be wrong, hope I am.

I honestly feel bad for this media person. Normally companies vet public releases before submitting. I would be upset for the grandpa and his granddaughter too.
 
Per my data since general season started I have seen 8:1 nonresident to resident hunters today it was 12:1. The big push for the rut hasn’t started yet and I do expect western Montana to make a strong showing at the end of season. To say that region 7 doesn’t have a nonresident problem is just ignorant. Get rid of some tags or welcome them to your region but something needs to change here.

I feel bad for you guys and the deer. What town are you near? Broadus/Miles City?

R4 has really upped the MD permit past mid November this year. Not sure why other regions aren’t doing it.

It’s gotta be pushing folks east.

Sorry you have to absorb it.

First week there was a lot of residents, most of them had an elk tag or were helping someone with a bull tag. NR have really started to roll in this last weekend.

From a non-res CO perspective, MT prioritizes opportunity and allows general tags in rut…. Not common in the west…
