5-6 hero shots with a forky...damn, these guys are getting desperate for content. Montana FWP should put that on the front cover of next year's regulations.

Sounds good - send me a pm and some pins! What unit? What area? Am I doing this NR thing right?You rang?
Come on over boys, we got enough forkies for everyone and won’t charge an arm and a leg for em
For once, I actually WASNT trolling you this time - just saying that I don't understand the allure of a grown man posting a picture with an infant buck... especially when you could have probably hunted a better looking/tasting deer a lot cheaper.
I get it. Pulled my post because it came across snarky when I did not actually mean it to.
I think you guys are unfortunately going through the painful realization that much of the rest of the country has already gone through years/decades ago.
That type a buck is pretty much what you’re going to see on public land moving forward, with the rare mature buck popping up every once in while. I just don’t see any way Montana avoids that fate the way things are going.

yup, we fixed it in 1999 and have enjoyed plenty of mature public bucks ever since.
the CWD wars and some recently poorly timed seasons have definitely dulled the smile though.

Na - it doesn't have to be this way and the trend is reversible. It will never be like it was in the 90s, sure. Most other western states are better for mule deer than Montana - so im certain its not as grim as you think.
If you do ever get a deer tag here though - since I've been such a prick - I would try to help you out with some private I have access on.
Anyway - back to regularly scheduled programming about "influencers ruining stuff" was Wisconsin ruined by that? Or what made it so bad?
I don’t think anything in WI is ruined- I love hunting public land here, but on average you’re going to see a bunch of little bucks to every big buck. Just how it is on public land in a state in which almost 1 million people buy deer tags.

Is the problem that they're posting on social media? Because almost everyone that's criticized the dbag above has said, at one time or another, "if someone is happy with their deer, good for them." I shot a tiny ass 2-pt last year and was happy as a clam. I think I even created an IG post. Every 2 pt shot is a 4 pt left for you real hunters, you boot lacer-tighters, generational badasses. If you're killing too many is that really this guy's fault?
For me, it is all about monetizing a public resource. If you're in that camp I'm going to be pretty critical of your actions.

it's not the tiny deer, it's the tired tropes that really get to me. the 3 or 4 short paragraphs justifying his kill.
it's clear that deep inside he's embarrassed but knows if he says the right things the honor and glory are there and his post will receive praise.
and, of course, the fact that he's a wildlife whore - what is he without content and praise?

It's very expensive sub par table fair and I'd take about 5 other species over a rutted up forky when it comes to "putting meat in the freezer". My buddies from Washington come out every couple years and they're shameless meat hunters. They buy 2-3 whitetail doe tags and a cow B tag. Fill the freezer and head home. I'm happy to help them all day long and honestly wish I was more like that. They are very practical with the money spent vs. experience had IMO.
The 6 hero shots, sob story justification #meat hunter, #feeding the family BS plus the 65 product hashtags at the end is where the guy looses me.
I would of liked his post if he said something like:
"Shot this forky so my wife doesn't kick may @ss for coming home with nothing to show for my $1700's in tags and fuel. Montana needs to figure their chit out."
Throw in a couple good hastags like:
#saveMontanaMuledeer, #Shedgod_for_Commissioner, #FWP_ProjectEradicateMD
