The first legislative priority in the document would be to change the statute to give the commission flexibility in setting the muzzleloader season dates. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Creating additional LE units is only going to make the remaining general units even more crowded. FWP's mule deer hunting surveys indicate that hunters prefer the opportunity to hunt mule deer bucks every year. This season structure would allow that, while also hunting mule deer when they are... -

I don't think the majority of Montana hunters are putting in that amount of time. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
UPOM makes up a very small percentage of the landowners within the state. I know quite a few landowners that would love to see an end to the mule deer road hunting in November. -

Seeing the public outcry when the elk CAC proposed choose your weapon showed us that was something we would avoid. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Splitting up whitetail and mule deer hunters will help the hunter crowding issue. We also didn’t want to put excess pressure on whitetails by allowing them to be hunted for two straight months. -

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
I feel like you’re comparing Montana’s mule deer hunting with the AZ Strip or the Kaibab. No one is saying it will ever be that good. Most people on here are just saying that it has been and could be so much better than it is currently. -

Ones that got away
