Do you know any YouTubers from east montana? Just saying. I could run out of fingers just listing bozetard YouTubers. So I think some blame is appropriate however what’s actually ridiculous is your reading comprehension since @DFS clearly stated “if fwp continues”
I know you didn’t ask me Sean but I will give you my .02 anyway😂. When I discuss things with the bios, they do have hunter estimates for areas. I’m not sure how or what methodology these are based upon (and from hunter surveys I have taken, I would probably question there validity) but...
Stereotype much? I think most Rs that post on here, have a great respect for the resource. I mean look at the group that put this proposal together, I don’t think they have gotten anything but grief. They did it trying to effect some change for the resource. I truly believe that. The R and...
You’re a numbers guy SAJ. What are you seeing in the stats that make you think NR are getting screwed? Seems like nr tag allocations are pretty damn liberal. If you want to compare us to other states, check out ND and SD too.
Yeah that would be interesting to know. I assume MOGA has a good idea how the business side of things changed when I-161 passed. Honestly I could care less what private landowners and private land outfitters do. It would be nice if they chased a few critters back onto public land once in a...
I’m not necessarily proposing rewards for any classes. Just business stability for long time established montana businesses and distributing hunters on the landscape more commensurate with game populations. And you won’t find a bigger public land diy resident with tighter boots than me. To me...
I have proposed nr caps that don’t apply on private land. That would get rid of that outfitter concern right? Passage of I-161 was overall a bad deal imo for this reason. I’m sure I’m on an island with that opinion. But we have a hunter distribution problem now that is way worse because of it.
But here’s the deal, will it offset enough? Im skeptical it will. Eastern montana needs nr caps regardless of season structure or some other hunter pressure sidebars. Pick your region would do that a little bit at least.
So with getting rid of pick your region and no nr caps, explain to me how this plan will take pressure off R6 and R7 that are already absolutely crushed with hunting pressure and little to no security cover? I think this plan might even make the pressure worse in 6 and 7 without some...
