Stole it from my Grandpa when he wasn’t paying attention. He yelled something at me as I left when he saw I had it, but considering he’s full blooded German, I only understand every other word he says anyways. Could have been about the weather.
That's a good point. It's likely the 60,000+ bow hunters are pushing a lot of elk onto private under the current system before the general season starts. Under the proposed season structure, there would undoubtedly be some mule deer hunters pushing elk around in October. However, it might be a lesser degree of pressure since elk won't actually be getting shot at on public land for a month leading up to the elk rifle season.
So 30,000 or so wounding elk probly. mtmuley
I was really hoping the story went something like that!
This is all great information. What does it have to do with the state of mule deer right now? mtmuley
I mean nothing. But it does show our game department had a backbone at one time.
Thanksgiving shoot isn’t a birthright. Looks like it was created by entitled hunters in 1958.
I'm Gen X. By two years. Ha. mtmuley
Unless of course you are responsible for it.
When the local deer processor in Glasgow Mt tells about a group of “hunters” brining in 70-80 mulie does/fawns, paying processing bill(near 10k), and not taking ANY venison home….its thrill killing. Color me disgusted.
Apparently they didn’t know how to properly manage anything “way back then”. Must’ve been a bunch of morons.
FWP says the statistics don’t show this to be true. I have seen otherwise.
Yep one group of North Dakotans took out the population in the area I grew up in. It took them several years, numbers were already down from bad winters of 11-12. It would have started when fwp allowed people to get 7 muley doe tags. I didn’t see that group last year. I think they accomplished their mission.
The oldest boomer would have been 12yo in 58. Got to find something else to blame them for.
