Not that anybody asked, but here’s what I fetishize about.


Region 7:
Sept 5-25 archery: 12-1500 either sex mule deer tags split proportionally among the units

oct5-20: 600+ rifle buck tags out proportionally among the units.

nov10-Thursday after thanksgiving: 10-30 rifle buck tags per unit.

Sept1-jan1: 3,000 first come first served R7 private land only antlerless OTC tags.

OTC whitetail buck hunting for residents.

opportunity galore, but a management structure that might produce a
Decent deer.
These are rough numbers obviously.

That is 5100 mule deer tags in just one region of the state.
You’d get flogged for suggesting such high tag numbers in other states.
That’s a lot of deer tags, yet would be a substantial decrease from what is currently going on.

I have liked the idea of a (900) series archery deer tag for Eastern MT. I was thinking August 15th- September 30. Wouldn't mind see a Muzzy season implemented or a Archery hunt during November?

You layed it out nicely Gomer.

Some "big bodied" crab clawed 2x3's out and about nosing around? Besides the extreme drought, insane hunting pressure, and EHD, it should be a phenomenal season!

Obviously you aren’t hunting hard enough.

Gotta check the next ridge

You must be talking to FWP leadership...I've been told the same thing by them.

SE Montana is in the hurt bag bad. Just came back from a trip out there. Numbers are slim to none in the open country where three years ago you would see tons of deer everyday. There are some deer to be found around the rivers and ag fields….mainly private. Bad drought the last few years and EHD is what the locals were saying. Love it out there but won’t be going back for a while.

That will make some people happy,wish they had mulies and antelope in my state so I could keep my $$ in my state

There are plenty of people lined up to take your spot. Nothing will change. It’s like the local bar you can skip going for several years and when you come back it’s still the same.

Plenty of big bucks out there if a guy is willing to strap his boots on and go deep. Or that’s what fwp says. Just not sure where deep is

 

[timmy]

I’ve never been that deep. But I’m sure someone will post up a good one. The private land monsters are starting to look like the public land monsters of old days.

Don’t even think that gets you there. Look at most of the bucks killed on guided hunts in Montana
