I think the point behind the proposal and why people on here support it is because if you choose to apply for and get a permit then you’re committing to hunting that area. If you want to hunt general areas, then don’t get a permit and you can hunt all the general areas you want. If I decide to...
All of the changes in the Master Plan, except for the changes regarding some archery permits for specific districts, some rifle permit adjustments to specific units and other changes that have been mentioned above
I’ve hunted the Snowy’s off and on for years and I agree with the above statements. It’s a cool area, but you are wasting your time and money coming from out of state to try and archery hunt it unless you’re buddies with the Wilks. I live 2 hours away and I’ll never put in for that archery...
Are the units you’re hunting a general tag area? The way I see it, only hunting one unit applies to if it’s a permit area. If I draw an elk permit than I’m committing to only hunting elk in that area, which I absolutely thinks makes sense. If you don’t put in for or draw a permit, you’re free...
I called the R5 office yesterday afternoon and spoke with Matt (I think) the wildlife manager. I expressed my concern regarding the Master list showing that HD 511 and 530, likely to be combined into 535, said that either sex opportunity on a general tag on private land only was proposed and...
Similar to this little nugget that’s yet to be addressed by anyone in FWP. Also happens to be the unit for the N Bar…hoping I can address it at the Region 5 zoom call next week.
Agree it’s a cluster F. I plan on going to our FWP meeting on Monday and addressing it. For wanting to “simplify” the regs, it sure as shit seems to me they have accomplished the exact opposite.
I’m reading the “proposals” that they put out on their webpage and for the district I usually hunt in central Mt it’s still showing the change to either sex on a general on private land….wtf
I believe the attachments are wrong on the FWP website. The one proposing the later start/finish date has “Alternative” at the top. The other attachment, under Proposed Dates-Alternative on the agenda does not have “Alternative” at the top. I’m hoping the attachments got mixed up in losing on...
Unfortunately I think you’re right. I think this past election was a perfect storm. The national stage of R vs D was as toxic as I can remember, and I think that trickled down to our State level. With COVID, racial issues, etc. etc. it was terrifying to think what could happen if the “wrong...

There own attachments for the elk season on this page contradict themselves as well.
The information they have put out contradicts itself. For example, in this article they say that 511 and 530 will combine to form 535 and permits will increase from 300-400. Yet on their proposals going to the commission next week, it’s recommending combining the units, making general tag either...
