Don't shoot. It's a robo deer decoy.

Most likely an Eld's deer. Maybe a Peer David's deer but face looks too short. Neither or native to Montana.

The new GMO Delk.....

They are not native to Montana and if you read the regulations you'll find that they have no associated season in the State.

They are not a protected species and because of that they can be hunted and taken by any means and at any time of the year. My favorite method is spotlighting while driving the forest roads.

I've shot several of them. They make a nice trophy and the meat is great.

Some of you guys guessed correctly, it's a Eur-Asian collared delk.

Its a unicouesdelk. You see the unicorns occasionally breed with the coues whitetail and elk, thats why you have the strange rack that appears every so often. The best time to find these is around the 32nd of each month, and quite often they are found with sasquatch so use caution.

I hope the proof reader isn't a hunter.

Looks like an un-palmented fallow buck. I have seen a few in my lifetime that actucally kinda look like that. The strong forward sweeping brow tines are a good giveaway.

Seems like they hired some internet intern to design the logo and that person stepped in their own sh_t!

"Thanx and heres your check for several thousand dollars",the whole program has back fired,now land owners threaten to take their land out of the program in order to blackmail the F&G and the hunters into making whatever decisions the land owners want to happen,they should sh*tcan the whole deal.This add sums up the whole program,a cluster F waste of money.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-03-13 AT 08:08AM (MST)[p]Reminds of the goof up in the movie "The Deer Hunter." They're supposedly hunting in the wilds of Pennsylvania, but when they show a deer fleeing over the hill, it's a red stag.

The one pictured above could also be an axis or sika deer.
