Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.
This post if I get it up took a considerable amount of effort since I have been limited by the moderators. I feel it is important enough to take the time. If FWP continues to allow unlimited tags you will see access continue to get shut down with landowner-hunter fatigue. I already know of two...- DFS

Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide
From what I’m hearing from my law enforcement buddy, they are expecting the gang to move east to wider spaces and less law enforcement. I will be locking the door tonight. I’m not sure it’s safe to camp anywhere.- DFS

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
The point is it’s time for western Montana to bear some of the burden of the 27k plus nonresident deer hunters and who knows how many residents. I don’t care if they can’t shoot a forky off the road. Give them their opportunity. -

That’s exactly what’s happening over here. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
The survey says hunters want the opportunity to hunt. They can hunt in western Montana. Success might be less but they still have opportunity. It’s pretty straight forward to me. Western Montana needs to pull its weight in this game management conundrum, a good start would be regional caps for... -

Drew my 1st Montana Speed Goat 🐐 Tag
Not sure I’d want to pack that thing very far. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Region 6 and 7 can’t handle the pressure of all the nonresidents and western Montana. It’s time for the rest of the state to carry its weight. Pick your region and nonresident caps are a necessity to a change of this magnitude. All the current proposal will do is increase the time western... -

Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana
I think they have evolved throughout the years, even the fwp CE’s. Access may be a component but that access may be family and friends. -

Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana
Conservation easements do not ensure access. Ben might disagree but they don’t. The public should give tools to landowners to manage elk which they already have. At this point it is a neighbor issue the same as who is fixing fence. The public would be better off using Ben’s funding to secure... -

Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana
Dig into some of the 454 agreements and you will see the public is getting hosed for access to a few cows. The landowners are getting bull tags and cutting right to the front of the line. -

Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana
It would be a big mistake for the public to start “compensating” landowners that have elk on their property. The public should be more focused on securing long term access of public through easements and correctly managing the lands that we have available. The landowners have the elk problem the... -

Non-Resident Hunters numbers (Deer tags sold)?
I would be more than happy to see all the nonresident funding go away on the big game side of things. I could sit in my chair as I’m doing now watching the Grizzlies play football and say “everything looks fine we can continue doing what we are doing” I have not seen a benefit to increased... -

Non-Resident Hunters numbers (Deer tags sold)?
That’s true. Don’t confuse funding a game agency as funding Montana mule deer though. -

The “overpopulation” of elk on private will not be fixed with anything short of aerial gunning. -

Another meat safety question. Elk not recovered for 24 hours.
They are 100% for the tag in question.- DFS
