It was a pretty brutal year there this year and going out on the wintering grounds the other day the numbers are not what they were a couple years ago.. The game and fish is giving out way to many tags in some areas I used to get 35-50 different whitetail bucks on trail cam this year i had 12  they started giving out over double the doe fawn tags and started them a month earlier, my family bought 16 doe tags this year and together we through 16 in the garbage didnt even attempt to go shoot one.. money well spent IMO in the high country area we hunt we seen a third of the bucks we normally see in the area and put double the miles on that we should of had to. as far as the price going up i think non resident deer is suppose to go up to 500 for the regular and 700 for the special if i remember correctly.  Bob i agree with you I find some jaw dropper bucks in general areas that probably wouldn't make there top 50 list ... being there more often than not know that im living in MT and having to drive through the wintering grounds to get back in forth to work I agree that the numbers are declining

That's a good place for you - sitting at your computer with max points.  Me?  Not much of a sitter.  I'll be hunting and will be sure to give you a full report when I'm done. 

Oh, and I don't have max points as I killed a buck in Region H in 2009.

Your right, that is a good place for me, as I like results, not un-notched tags in my pocket, paying leases, and buying landowner and still coming up empty handed. Congrats?

[jjhunter]

A rancher that I used to work for once told me "a guy who says he never lost a calf, never had any."

Think about that one there, Shrek....

[shrek]

You've lost your share of calves, it must be more than frustrating.... Not hating, just seems like you come up empty handed alot, while spending lots of $$$. Best of luck this year, $$ can't buy everything...

[jjhunter]

I now know who this is.....

[shrek]

LOL!!

The map showed the hardest hit area's were in the Midwestern part of the state with a small area a little farther south the eastern half of the state looked normal for winter survival
