Spike bulls should not be killed, mule deer should be atop of MT list of endangered species. Meat hunter opurtunity is glaring whiteys kill 7. Cow elk kill the 7 months out of the yr. General should be draw to protect the elk and muley buck from the orange army along with the private $$$.
300 plus is a good bull in 410, or any unit. Maybe montana should take the good fron every state out there. And imply it. Everyone is horn hunters i know. But eat the meat. Fwp made cwd good for whitey bucks in my area sheridan, dillon, twin for a reason. My opion make all antler a draw. Cow and...
My point is this, look at utah. Poaching numbers. I would say it is ego, privatization of wildlife, and no opportunity or hope of hunting a trophy animal, unless u pay. All politics and money. Shouldnt be that way. I honestly think if public lands and hunters were respected and managed, for...
I actually want some feed back. Fwp has allowed the public lands to be over hunted which in turns forces the wildlife onto private. In many areas. Mule deer population on public is just beyond comprehension. Outside of LE units which are poorly managed. Elk on public get hammered. Which...
Remember when they allowed bulls to be killed after the general season. Damage hunt. Makes me wonder is it educated idiots in charge. Or does nothing really matter and politics and huge money behind this. Idk things i have heard which is hearsay. Millionaires and billionaires behind the...
Just an example. Take unit 410. 150 bull rifle permits. 1899 bow way too many.
Will focus on the rifle . Stop killing spikes. Up quota to 200. So 30 tags go to non res. 170 left. Private gets x number. Will say 35. 135 left for public. More than what the actual public gets now.
Arch cut it...
Maybe it should be this.
Draw current otc mule deer units. Based off of actual counts. Split archery muzzy rifle. Current LE tags prob should cut 10 buck tags as is. Mule deer doe tags only on private until huntable population according to science and herd capacity without cattle grazing. Fwp...
I honestly don't understand. I get money and politics dictate everything but. Idk seems like the public hunter, buying snake oil. Fwp is an absolute joke. Ya alot if good people have careers there but are not allowed to do there job. My opionon the orange army, needs to rise. We c it, every time...
Sounds like the story of every MT unit. The public over hunted and the private not so much. But the private will take advantage of it and claim over objective. Which most private does not allow hunting as a true block management. When does it end. Idk seems like a sharade. Same story diff...
Maybe everyone should just be honest about public lands. Hunted to oblivion. Not management. Alot of public land void of game. Mule deer should thrive in along with elk. Chitty management. But with that said private has saved many elk and deer. Prob why a few mulies and good bulls around. Can we...
I was told by a senior member on this forum that unanimty is a real plus on this forum. Ya not gonna happen identifying some guides, outfitters, fwp personnel.
Eric albus my thought on u and moga bringing a wy bio for mule deer in mt is this. There is a man named, will call him james cox kennedy and a few others that own ranches in central mt. What i hear is they managing for mule deer. Dont be so dumb. My friends are right about u.
U would think landowners with too many elk on there property would just allow public hunting. Why would they need a bill to do so. I wonder if this is how wilks got there bull tags to control the objective number. Didnt c it go to public comment. Wierd like they think to harvest trophy bulls is...
Landowners should get elk tags. Up for debate on how many. Elk objective numbers are what landowners influence. If it were uo to the public it wouldnt exist. A better plan is give the public those cards of elk objective numbers. My guess private landowners making a living off of cattle would...
