Montana General Season Structure Proposal

[Gerald Martin]

I don't think resident public land hunters would be pissed off by waiting 3 to 5 yrs to kill a muley.

Post that sentiment on the Montanica Facebook page and see how many folks agree with you.

 

[Shed God]

I don't have Facebook. I have hunt talk

 

[Shed God]

Where on mt Facebook

I don't have Facebook. I have hunt talk

Probably smart. Although, I’d say that your statement about Montana resident not caring about shooting a mule deer every 3-5 years is out of touch with the average MT resident hunter.

Idk, the people I work with and know. Are in the same boat with everyone here. Want better MD management.

I mean I know guys that go east and shoot muleys. Say it's a meat buck. They filled there tag because. To tell there wife I got one, post it on Facebook, show off to there kids. I know alot of people that go east. Because the west sucks. The better deer I c come off of private. Those people I know definitely would go draw LE on hunting a mature muley
.
I don't know. Honestly. Who are these people. Wanting to hunt a mule deer every yr.

That survey you posted said it all. Meek

I’d say at worst - 60% of Montana residents want no change

 

[Shed God]

Where does actually management come in. They protect wolves, grizzlies. In my opinion some maybe most don't have a huntable mule deer population in region 3. Unit 300 is LE with the amount of tags issued, a different state such as wy or whatever makes it look pathetic.

I want to know about the survey. Nobody I know has had those questions.

Broken down as resident land owner non residents

 

[Shed God]

I was born in mt. My brothers. Most our friends. No one has had those questions.

 

[Shed God]

Just saying I think that survey is BS

 

[Rie Bread]

Amongst other stats in the survey this to me indicates the amount of nimby as far as mule deer hunting goes

I tend to agree with you on the survey. The only thing I can think of is they send it to western Montana guys that like to come out east and blast a dink. Maybe it comes down to who we associate ourselves with, but I don’t see no where near the support fwp is claiming in my small world.

 

[Shed God]

So where does actually managing mule deer come into play.

 

[Shed God]

I just don't believe that survey. Nobody I know looks forward to otc mule deer hunt. Unless they have plans to go east.

I got the survey, but my opinions obviously were overridden by the masses and aren’t indicated by the overall data

 

[Shed God]

So based off a survey that I don't believe anyway. We going to continue selling md tags. Without regard for the actuall huntable herd numbers.

Fwp should do a survey on hunting bull elk in ynp.

 

[Shed God]

This yr I'm asking that fwp lady that calls me every yr. What other questions u got. It's going to be a post on hunt talk.

The median/mean age of that survey suprising - especially for all the commentary about young bro hunters.

Seems like guys in their 40s, 50s, and 60s havent shot enough young deer yet.
