Successful I assume!?? I don't disagree with you, but I’ve also never not had a tag somewhere out west either…16 years straight. Learned a hard lesson and let some of the good ol days of Wyoming mule deer slip by me while I was mostly focusing on bulls. Not sure what I’ll do at this point, but...

I’m sitting on 14 now, waited that one more year since 2017

Thats always the answer, just wait one more year….fast forward to 2024 😂

You guys are comical judging our hunt from every angle. The title says it was a fun hunt, and that it was. Nobody in our group thinks we killed big ol mature bucks and nobody in our group sweated the $1500 of fun we had. This hunt didn’t take multiple years of points to draw and we knew going...

Montana is great, visibility was limited for hours and in a matter of minutes it cleared right up.

I’m curious…how many of you Montana guys hunt out of state every year?

$1500 a man…I’d say we did pretty solid considering what a 5 day guided hunt on public land costs and what the success looks like compared to ours. You boys woulda got a real good laugh had we paid an outfitter :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Truth. I passed this buck two seasons ago at 3.5, didn’t see him last year and killed him this with a muzzleloader at 5.5. He went 135”, obviously he didn’t have it in him as most 5+ in Illinois would have seen much more growth

We can blame NR in all of our states, but we can also blame technology like OnX and Inreach/Zoleo! That’s what’s given a large number of your NR the courage to step out of their comfort zone. Since those tools and the YouTube public land hunters came about my/our elk hunting spots have been...

I can guarantee you I didn’t shoot the first framed buck I saw. Killed this one on day 5 after passing framed bucks daily, and he was the “biggest” of them all. It’s not hard to see the quality has taken a nose dive, just take look at the outfitter pages that hunt public ground over the last 10...

You haven’t heard any bitching from me! Heck I’ve stated multiple times that I hope you guys can get it turned around. Wish you the best and Merry Christmas

I couldn’t care any less about all the laughing emojis and internet complainers. I’ll be back until they do something about it. Montana is awesome and an easy fun hunt for me and a group of buddies. I’m Sitting on 15 points in Colorado and I got a refund on my 14 WY points, I’ll hold out for a...

Montana deer are too accessible and visible. Close half the two tracks and designate the other half as walk in only. Lol You can’t stop people from shooting stuff, residents or NR. Agree the best way is to limit tags and yes APR wouldn’t hurt.

Get it done Timmy!

I know a bunch of guys all over Missouri that blame NR hunters too, yet they shoot the first 2.5yo they get a crack at. I understand the frustration, but I also adapt and hunt other states that require more points and have better age structure and trophy potential. Sure I’ll ***** about NR...

Took my Dad in 2017, was his 2nd western trip next to an antelope hunt I took him on back in 2010 after he retired. The difference in the number of bucks seem between 2017 and 22/23 is very noticeable. Blame NR, hell blame me. But that won’t fix the problem.

We had 1 first time mule deer hunter this year, he shot yearling dink and we flamed him pretty bad for it…but he was a good sport. This is 2022, had two first time mule deer hunters. Managed a real solid goat, amazing how many 75”+ goats we saw. Hopefully I’ll draw that tag with 6/7 pts next...

Yes

$650 a man plus tags. That’s 5 guys food, 2 trucks gas , 2 motel stays, 120lb of propane and 4 half gallons of makers mark

What did we do Timmy

I agree. But N I agree, but not all residents are trophy hunters. Only limiting NR tags won’t fix your problem, the amount of buck tags needs cut across the board. I get it, I’m from Missouri and it’s OTC for everyone with no point system. I’d gladly come to Montana once every 4-5 years if...

Had to bail on a backpack Wyoming hunt due to a neck injury but was able to somewhat enjoy a truck hunt with buddies up in North Central Montana.

Figure I better clarify the bud light was a joke, banquets all day

Bud light!

Are you kidding me! What a deal, much appreciated. Guess I had the lucky hand.
