    The way they(the dept) is doing the surveys is flawed. The survey says 60k mule deer in R6. I don’t there is 60k mulies in 6.

    From different guys I’ve spoken to in Sonora Mx the deer there will moved by rain, 30-70 miles no problem. Greens up the deer go there, bet eastern Mt would find similar happenings.

    I’ve been texting a buddy up in souther Sask, just barely across border. SERM(sask environment resource management) has gone scorched earth on the mule deer across the fence. They killed and estimated 2k mulies. According to my buddy, nothing left along border. Going to affect 670 for years...

    Come to R6 or 7 November 10-30 and tell me a 5.5 week season spreads hunters out. The ease of rut hunting concentrates hunters, end of discussion. what you’re lobbying for looks like “let’s just stay status quo, it’ll be fine”. If we stay status quo and do nothing we wind up...

    Perhaps a point restriction would help with Oct season.

    Until we can check the coyote population significantly mule deer will continue to struggle. I am seeing mangy coyotes here the last few week, so perhaps Mother Nature will provide some relief. We need to come up with a funding mechanism for a bounty on coyotes. We also need to remove quotas...

    Agreed, to many ppl are the problem. Give everyone a flintlock and a brass telescope from 1875 and you can still let ppl hunt, they just won’t be as successful. If we want to continue being an opportunity state we have to limit technology, or face going LE permits. This was my point...

    There is a technology problem too. When ppl reduce hunting to a range finder and a 1000-1200 yard dial it in magnum rifle scoped that’ll hit a 10 inch plate, sad. It has reduced hunting to “target practice”. Shoot a steel plate, not an elk or mule deer, better yet a coyote,

    Eventually it’s LE permits statewide. We’re trying to come up with solutions to stave off the inevitable.

    Yes, inevitably and eventually we wind up at LE permits. Perhaps by limiting technology we can stave off permits inevitably. Limit high power rifles to on week(or weekend). Have a primitive muzzleloader season for 4 weeks and archery primitive season for 4 weeks, with one week compound...

    If we want to preserve any kind of decent opportunity something must be done. This is What most of the haters(I don’t facebook) fail to understand. If we make no attempt and leave status quo, we will wind up at LE permits in 6&7 within 2 yrs.

    FYI, nothing was handed down to us from on high written upon stone tablets. This group, and hopefully the mule deer group, will be flexible enough to morph ideas. If there’s a ton of heartburn with adding the August week to archery it can be scrubbed, start Sept 1, end bow season after 1st...

    You’re getting rich, by comparison. I had to float my boat from home to Billings, burned $160 in diesel, $150 motel expense. Lunch was my big win, $0 out of pocket, and yes Art’s neighbors beef was excellent!!🤣🤣

    My hope is that we come up something workable to stave off LE permits for mule deer bucks for a few years.

    Thank you for sending a note to FWP, we need as many as can spare the $1 for postage and paper/envelope to do so.

    Not as bad as I hope you’re wrong. I’ve put in a ton of time and dollars into seeing mule deer managed BIOLOGICALLY over the last 35 years. If this falls upon deaf ears I’ll be calling for a militia to rise up and take over.
