Well like almost all of us have said this isn’t a Chris Gasner season structure it’s a group that was trying to accomplish the same goal so we all had to make compromises. I’m glad I’ve hitched my wagon to this because your never gonna see a change just smashing the keyboard by yourself it’s gonna take a group a very large group hopefully we can start getting a lot of support from other groups.I hope so. Came together for the wildlife.
Anything at this point is gonna be a stepI don’t get to post anymore but shed god has some good thoughts. I respect some of the guys that came up with the proposal some of the others I don’t. I don’t see a good path forward without nonresident caps, maybe even resident caps no matter what date the season falls on.
I agree, two track road going from Private to Public, Two lane highway going from Public to Private. The number of nice bucks the outfitter has shot out of our neighbors hay fields is staggering. Some of those bucks I located during the summer as much as five miles away deep into public during the summer.Who says I'm not day drinking...
From my experience, there are plenty of bucks on public in October. The rut displaces more bucks onto private than anything else.
I’d be curious to know at what point the mule deer population trajectory gets as much consideration as the deer hunter surveys that show hunters wanting opportunity at all cost.Nice to see this starting to gain some traction locally. A little snip from our Region 7 wildlife manager. His observations sure don’t line up with mine or anyone I know

Right , where is more of a concernHow many deer get killed is a terrible way to gauge herd health. It doesn’t factor in the reality that it now takes more days with much better technology and mobility to kill the same amount of deer as back in the ‘80’s when blue jeans, 200 yard rifles, paper maps and easy hunting access were the norm.
Put 250,000 hunters in the field for five weeks and the folks who want to kill a deer are going to kill one, whether the population of deer is 300,000 or 3 million.
Those of us that hunted the 80's were not that primitive. My rifle was more than capable of shooting well beyond two hundred yards if I guessed the range correctly. Everything else is spot on.as back in the ‘80’s when blue jeans, 200 yard rifles, paper maps and easy hunting access were the norm.
...or....Best thing that could happen is the worst winter ever and kill all the deer and start over
Do what Saskatchewan does and not allow any non res to hunt mule deer!!!!! That’s the best idea yet...or....

That’s some interesting back of the napkin math right there!I’d be willing to bet Google will give you that answer! My first guess is that they are probably not completely money hungry… non res will still buy elk bear and whitetail tags by the thousands I’d doubt it would generate that much of a revenue loss and if it does raise resident mule deer licenses to 50 bucks a person and it would probably cover the loss
I know right! had some ketchup on it tooThat’s some interesting back of the napkin math right there!
