Hey Randy,I have a spare lot next to my house. We can meet there. If it rains, we can move into my shop. It is 30x50, so plenty of space, if need be.
With you 100 % on everything but private land archery, Luke warm on that one. Mostly because I can think of several people that I don't want to see every year and I don't want to be the guy that has to tell others that when they chase the elk up on to the BLM the hunt is over. I can think of hunters where this would be an issue.I won’t be able to attend R3 but am planning on attending R6&7. One idea I’d like to throw out is NR general license only good for a limited number of days 5-8(?). Exceptions made if an LE permit is drawn.
Maybe make archery permits in the breaks and some other areas unlimited on private land(more pressure on private should push elk onto accessible land).
Region 7 antelope needs to be managed by district, not by the entire region as it currently is.
The idiocy of having a two week muzzle loader season in December needs addressed.
The last 2 weeks of general season should be turned into the primitive weapon season.
Last thing I want or need is two more weeks of hunting(crippling/maiming) deer. I’m sure this will shock some, as it is a chance to exploit the resource and capitalize for another 14 days.
And cow shoulder season on public land with rifles….The muzzy season still blows my mind, especially considering how much gated country opens to snowmobiling Dec 1
Won't be able to make it work with my schedule this week coming from Helena. If there is another go-round then will see how it works out. thanks for putting something together guys, I'm sure some good things will come from itI am fine with interested folks who want to be part of the conversation from anywhere in MT. If any good ideas come out of this, I am hoping our willingness to engage the folks who can make decisions will spread to other regions as well.
Some landowners and other business folks would love to see several certain ($) people every year. And some of those landowners would not be telling others that the hunt was over when elk went onto public. So how about a big no on that idea for obvious reasons. Unlimited, FUGHK. Come on Eric. I do see stuff like that likely coming our way though, like that, and maybe 5-10 unlimited archery licenses given to landowners with 640 acres or more. The quality on public land in this state going to get the coup de grâce in no time at all.With you 100 % on everything but private land archery, Luke warm on that one.

you cant drink all day if you don't start in the morning!So it was before breakfast?
Outfitted hunts typically don't run longer than 7 days right? I don't blame how you think, but it sucks to think the mindset above is going to be the entire basis of MT wildlife management.I don’t know if the private land only license is a good idea or not, but think it may be worth a try….perhaps make it good for only 7 days? Maybe makes more palatable?
