Montanans wanted to kill more elk, so the fwp obliged and they got a buy one get one. Don't even need to tag the fetus.Gross
now last year this seminar conflicted with the keep hammering 5K. hopefully that's not the case.If this seminar doesn’t include picking up donuts and coffee from the West Side in Malta before driving two tracks all day, I’m not interested.

Different target demographics. The Keep Hammering 5K is for those who Train, Hunt, Provide, and Honor. It dies by an arrow or it doesn’t die. They’re too hardcore for this.now last year this seminar conflicted with the keep hammering 5K. hopefully that's not the case.
Pics or no cred.Hunted in eastern part of the state last year. Tougher than I thought. All tagged out but we put in the work.

You pay @ 34 times the price of a $19 resident tag. Shoot whatever makes you happy and don’t worry whatever anyone thinks of you.The last thing I want to do is upset the people in the state that I hunt. My expectation is to hunt new places for the adventure and meet like-minded hunters.
I plan to hunt MT just one more time, so twice in total, partly as I have invested in preference points and realistically this is my last chance to hunt MT. Odds are I wont shoot a mule deer but looking for one will make for a great adventure in the MT mountains and Breaks area (I have just received the book "A quite place of violence" to learn more about hunting the Breaks).
You got me thinking about the hunting pressure back then. I really can not say for the late eighty's as I was out of SE Montana for all of the season but Thanksgiving week.How many deer tags were sold in 1987? I can't find any data going back past 2004.
Unless things have changed markedly, that’s an astonishingly low bar to not clear.but the Cheyenne and Crow are hunting mostly on the reservations because quite frankly the hunting is better there.
That is the million dollar question. I do not support adding a few limited entry units. Even if we cut tags in a few units to say even 20% of current hunters, those units would draw the dedicated hunters that would target the top 20% of bucks in the unit and the meat hunter would just hunt a general unit. Bucks like the ones I posted are likely in the top 20% of bucks at age three. Maybe in the limited units a slightly larger parentage of the top end buck would live to see four, but close to zero would live past age five. It may even be that a top end buck would have a better chance of living to old age in a general unit.How do we change that? Do you believe that reducing buck kill by 50 percent through le permits without changing the season timing would fix that? 33 percent?
Deer hunting on the reservations has improved since you were here. The reasons, The older generations that provided much of the demand for venison are no longer with us and many of the hunters on the reservations have shifted to hunting elk. Are they like the Apache, not even close, but I see far more deer on the reservation than when I was young and more pictures of quality bucks taken on the west side of the river than the east nowUnless things have changed markedly, that’s an astonishingly low bar to not clear.
