Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

Sounds like NRs get counted because they make the mistake of getting out of the truck.

You’re not going to believe this story but I swear it’s true. Youngest and I headed into town a little while ago to the grocery store. Pickup pulls up and two guys get out decked out in orange. Asked them if they were having any luck and they said no. Asked them if they had seen anything and they said “not close enough to the road”. I just chuckled. Granted it is a cold and windy day. As I was leaving the parking lot I looked over at their pickup to see the plates and I shit you not Washington plates. Guess they won’t get counted as hunter days

I love the not close enough to the road stuff. You should see where my son in law and I doubled on two cow elk in the Breaks this week. mtmuley

Had a bull tag up there one year and was glassing from a knob. Couple guys walk up and asked if I was seeing anything. They said they had cow tags. Pointed out a group of cows maybe 3/4 of a mile from a road. They said “no way are we shooing one that far from the road”. I’m sure it was more a deer hunting trip with an elk tag in their pocket
 
laziness has no particular place of residence.

but NR status does have a tendency to also filter for ambition.
