Here's a question for all of you - if you had the ability to change the structure of the MT hunting seasons, what would you do differently? I know I would definitely make some changes, I'm just curious what everyone else would change.

Tony- your elk link is taking me to the 2015 master list, not this year's. Looks like fwp put the wrong one online.
Here's a link to all the changes for anyone interested-

You're advocating to "manage elk by...carrying capacity of their habitat." Are you also advocating we do the same for wolves?

What is everyone's thoughts on lengthening youth deer season from two to four days on some years? I'm all for youth participation but not sure I see the need for nearly a week of extra rifle pressure on deer.
I think extending the season on deer in Mt is a bad idea. I think it serves to move game to private land before the opener which plays into the outfitters' hands. If a kid cant find a deer in Mt with 5 weeks of season then we have something screwed up and adding days to the season is not the way to fix it.
everyone, including those who don’t hunt, get a say in the objectives for each critter.
It’s just some people get a lot more say than others. Like at a 1:10000 ratio. But that’s all good right.
Seems like if you truly believe in what you say, you want more elk.
I don’t think it should be a democracy but if it were, I doubt you’d find much support for shooting pregnant cows in waist deep Feb snow.
It’s definitely debatable if ‘everyone gets a say’. Public input is mostly a required formality.
Gerald what is your take on this? I am totally unfamiliar with the unit.
Mule Deer
HD 103: A proposal from Libby-area sportsmen to make a portion of HD 103 a limited
draw permit area for mule deer bucks. FWP proposes no change from the current any
antlered buck. More information available at FWP.mt.gov
Do anyone know if there's ever been a push to get a few more limited deer units in the eastern part of the state?

Always interesting at these meetings there will be guys that want HD270 and HD261 returned to general mule deer seasons.
