Montana season structure proposal 2.0
Getting the data first, which is also part of our proposal, is working in the right direction too. I don't think it is safe to assume we would be successful in getting caps put in place a few years down the road. Hell, even attempts to limit NR bird hunting pressure have came up unsuccessful... -

Montana season structure proposal 2.0
We were worried about unintended consequences of pick your region. Regions 6 and 7 are already getting pounded, and pick your region could have compounded this issue by not allowing hunters to go anywhere else. We could have ended up with more hunter days in those regions than we already have... -

Podcast on Montana Mule Deer ideas
It will be accomplished by making you choose a deer species to hunt and having those seasons at different times. This will cut down on the numbers of deer hunters in the field at one time. The incentive to hunt whitetails would be that you could hunt them during the rut vs hunting mule deer at a...- bigsky2

No disagreement from me. Hopefully some of the NR pressure in R6 and 7 would be reduced if they couldn’t hunt mule deer and elk at the same time.- bigsky2

Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.
Not everyone is bitching about what is happening due to lack of success. I recognize the main reason why I've probably been more successful lately than my dad's circle of friends is because I've been willing to adapt from year to year. Those guys have slowly phased out of hunting because the...- bigsky2

Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.
Very well said. Over the weekend, my dad took my step mom antelope hunting to the area where I grew up hunting. He hadn’t hunted it in probably 10 years, but he was blown away by how much the hunting pressure had changed. I haven’t looked at permit numbers to see if they have changed much, but I...- bigsky2

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
I wasn't even aware there was a war on sliding sights. There will always be people shooting far whether they are using sliding sights or not. Speaking for myself, if I was into long range shooting, I'd feel much more comfortable taking a shot at long distance if I was able to put a pin right...- bigsky2

Do you shoot a slider sight? If so, do you think you would have taken that shot without a slider sight?- bigsky2

Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk
Yeah we should just pretend that it never happens. Maybe the sample size is too small or maybe Hunt Talkers are just very proficient bowhunters, but the numbers according to the poll are pretty surprising to me. I don’t think it’s really giving ammunition to antis when the vast majority of the... -

Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk
It’s probably too small of a sample size, but it is interesting that so far it looks like people either have a really low wounding rate or really high and there’s not much in between. I would have guessed the results would be more linear. -

Well so much for keeping this from turning into a bow vs rifle debate…
