Where are you coming from?My boy drew this tag and is super excited . The area is absolutely huge . Anybody have a good starting point ? Hoping to be able to find a motel to hunt out of . Thanks in advance
lol......wrong answerUtah
Frame them….They issued me 2 doe tags, I will poke around 705 next couple days
You sure? Usually it's either sex and doe/fawn. Check your tags. I've never been "issued" two doe tags in Montana. mtmuleyThey issued me 2 doe tags, I will poke around 705 next couple days
I've held and filled 4 tags a season in Montana. Been a long time ago. Used to draw a buck tag, then every successful applicant was offered 2 doe/fawn tags. You could also buy one multi-region doe/fawn OTC.You sure? Usually it's either sex and doe/fawn. Check your tags. I've never been "issued" two doe tags in Montana. mtmuley
I remember that. Thought those days were over. mtmuleyI've held and filled 4 tags a season in Montana. Been a long time ago. Used to draw a buck tag, then every successful applicant was offered 2 doe/fawn tags. You could also buy one multi-region doe/fawn OTC.
The way the MTFWP operates, I'm surprised you cant have 8 tags each.I remember that. Thought those days were over. mtmuley
I am shocked you filled 2 doe tags when you knew the herd was "decimated" down 95-97%?I drew a NR doe tag with less than 3.5% odds but blanked the buck tag with 54% odds (based on last years numbers). They had a secondary offering for existing tag holders for an additional doe tag only good in 704 and 705.
Overall numbers are completely decimated. I hunted same areas 4 years ago and by my eye populations are down 95-97% based on what I saw. Granted last hunt was opening day, this was week following, I'm sure that has some impact but not that much 5-10%.
Hunted west of Alzada and Albion east back to 3 corners. Filled one tag on wed am and one tag on thur am.
If anyone is stil trying to fil tags there is a big group of 40 hanging out just west of Alazada on the first piece of BLM south of the road. Saw one shooter buck in 2 days of driving 500 miles.
Might skip next year and give them a chance to rebound if winter is kinder than last. I'm shocked they did secondary offering with herds in this shape, 150 doe tags for region 7 does not impact the overall population statistically, but it doesn't help.
On the upside, the ones I cut up were REAL fat. Lots of good groceries and the mulies I saw looked very healthy too.
