Well said. NR vs resident tag allocations have nothing to do with Montana's mule deer problems. Hunting the **** out of them in the rut for the last 50 years might just be a factor.

Still nothing for me. Applied for 12AW late and 12BW late with 25 nonresident points.

Ok thank you. Looks like numbers north of the river are exactly the same as 2022 so I was questioning whether I was looking at 2023 numbers or not.

Maybe I'm just too lazy or incompetent to find this on the G&F website, but I'm wondering about the time frame of when final tag quotas will be finalized by the commission. Are there proposed numbers published now? When applying in several states, I can't remember which ones have final...

Agree 100% This tag is still riding a reputation from 20 years ago. I grew up hunting 081 and I don't even apply for it anymore. The late hunts have been killing every buck over 3 years old for a very long time. Needs to go back to the standard season dates (like 6 and 7) so it can...

There's no reason it needs to take this long. Several states have it under two weeks now. Nevada's due date is today and they've already promised results by the 20th.

Congratulations nfh! Can't wait to see your pics from this summer and fall.

Congratulations NFH! Can't wait to see your pics from this summer and fall.

I guess the later the season goes, the further south the deer went. I believe we were too far north for part of the time.

Used to hunt 081 a lot back in the 80s, 90s and 2000s before the magazine and consultant culture made it so hard to draw. Finally drew it again last year, with a muzzleloader tag and rifle tag in the family. Spent 10-12 total days up there and was pretty disappointed. I hope you do well but...

Well dangit. Thank you for reaching out.

Hey, one of my good friends' son hit and lost a buck on the youth hunt in 22. (His first tag) I'll message you the particulars.

Good call. I used to put a little of my chapstick on canvas boat cover snaps. As long as the Vaseline doesn't attract dust to the zippers it sounds like a good idea.

Yep. The cameras have gone way too far. Follow Nevada's lead with a seasonal closure on cameras. When conditions get dry in the southwest, big game animals HAVE to come to water and get their picture taken. They have absolutely no choice to avoid this pressure. NOT fair chase.

I was nervous about sending a pack in for a repair in the middle of hunting season, but I have a backup, so a couple weeks ago I sent one of my Badlands packs in for zipper repairs. I was so impressed with the turnaround time, that when I got the first one back, I sent in my main pack. I...
