Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Don’t worry. You’re well on the way to having the game shot down to low enough numbers that NR’s won’t congregate over there as much. See, hunter self distribution really works.😜 I’m not saying we don’t need to reduce NR’s. I’m saying that reducing NR’s only without including R’s into the...- Gerald Martin

Your perspective on deer hunting is helpful. The back and forth of insults doesn’t really help convince anyone of anything regardless of what argument is being advanced.- Gerald Martin

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
We looked at the effects of trying to reduce NR pressure. From purely a harvest perspective and not even bringing the financial aspect into consideration, reducing NR numbers without including R harvest/hunting pressure doesn’t have enough scale to make much difference. For those who say...- Gerald Martin

FWP manages wildlife according to the social “science” of the laws enacted by the Legislature and the lobbying of user groups. Folks pointing fingers at FWP should probably realize that there’s four fingers pointing back at themselves as they do so. If anyone wants change they need to...- Gerald Martin

This is why Bozeman is kind of annoying.
They need copious amounts of grizzly maulings in that series “The Madison”. Scenes that acccurately depict grizzlies invading sleeping households in downtown Bozeman and taking Fido and Kitty right out of their pet beds for a midnight snack.- Gerald Martin

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
I think we can and are hoping for less mule deer bucks getting killed overall. Otherwise, it doesn’t really matter when they get killed.- Gerald Martin

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

To my knowledge, the argument for concern over incidental harvest of mule deer during elk season was advanced in the context of overall incidental harvest across the entire state. I think it’s a valid concern and is certainly a substantial...- Gerald Martin

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Who is pointing out the concern of incidental harvest in regions 6 and 7 specifically? Contextually, all I can recall is the concerns about incidental harvest included the entire state not just 6 and 7 as you separated out. Seems like that’s purposely taking that argument out of the context it...- Gerald Martin
