Name another western state where nonresidents can draw a 5 week rut hunt nearly every year. It’s time for a change. Hunters nonresident and resident need to be limited.
It seems pretty apparent that the rifle rut hunt up there needs addressing for the sake of the deer herds. Literally every time I do any research on deer in Montana the issue comes up.
Steering more non resident pressure onto private ground, which it seems to me this bill may do, doesn’t seem like a great idea, especially since some of that private ground is the only sanctuary that the deer have.
