I wonder why the town of sheridan mt has more mule deer in it than the public land of the god dam tobacco roots. Just on that observation would lead me to belief that the town of sheridan mt is better at managing mule deer than fwp
FWP new slogan. Want better hunting, get permission on private.
FWP mule deer recommendations. Apply for out of state tags.
FWP elk recommendations. Kiss a landowners ass so they will allow u to kill a cow elk.
I fail to see the significance of any of it either. In the big scheme of management.
What are the odds they take all over objective units and make them otc. And if they did would private allow access to hunt the over objective elk. Also curious about how does fwp decide the the unit carrying capacity of elk.
Only reason mule deer population suffering is because fwp allows,enables the public land hunter to harvest. That being said we should have opurtunity but the mule deer should as well.
Politics has nothing to do with it. Democratic or republican. Last 20 yrs it has only got worse. Regardless of who in office. With todays weapons and everyone trying to kill a big one. But everyone killing one and posting meat buck but its there best buck. Or killing 2 to 6 does. And freezer...
What i actually think is. Fwp, bios useless. Fwp sells out tags. Public not managed. Private has good mule deer population. Good bucks. Because its managed. Limited entry units has good deer. Because its managed. Otc mule deer non existing. Its so bad, criminal. Montana fish wildlife a joke...
