Do that by turning off the general doe tags across the board and make it all draw for mule deer does. It's worked in the past. This preference for landowners is bullshit. It's taken over elk hunting and now deer hunting too? Wait and see what comes down the pipe next year and the year after, etc.
I think your a little late to the meeting.
So that's where they should be hunted exclusively? Where's the logic in that?
Open my eyes? You mean let ranchers allow hunting of does on their property if they think there are too many? They can also say no.
So now we're letting every rancher decide game management for animals that are entirely free roaming AND public property? Why? Because they've done such a great job managing elk, right?
Itd be easier to do no does in R6 and R7 - i guess.
Thank you.
Let me guess, Trumps fault?
I don't think they are allowed to create harvest rules that are different from the regs as part of their BMA contracts.
Yes they absolutely can and do.
I think they talked about that at the commission meeting. The private land in BMA could limit doe harvest but doesn’t have to. The public lands within it is what it is which is no doe harvest.
Any step in the right direction these days is a win regardless how small. Your turf or mine.
Either way mtfwp would have to be crazy if they didn’t let landowners enroll there block management if they didn’t want doe harvest on their private. These are the landowners that are either good ole boys or they could care less about wildlife.
Now when they poach a doe on private they will not be able to claim they shot it on public.
