Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting
Montana Cutting Deer Licenses
mburrows:
This makes no sense to me. There are so many other things they could do to manage the deer herd. They dont even know how many animals are taken a year, no mandatory reporting. I'd rather see them follow suite with a state like Colorado and limit the amount of deer tags per unit than cut tag numbers.
vandeman17:
they will increase the price and still sell out. Residents are happy, they make up for lost revenue, win win.
CarbonHunter:
They are looking at making a lot of changes for deer hunting in the state to deal with the drop in deer populations. They have already floated the idea of making nonresidents pick a weapon and reducing or eliminating the late mule deer general season around the state.
It’s just a drop in the bucket at this point that won’t make a difference so look for additional restrictions in the future when they realize this did nothing.

:yeah:
The logical outcome when the voters are angry, sell fewer NR tags and charge more to make the same money. Right or wrong, it's their resource to manage.

Yes this is true, but the impact to small towns and the business hunters bring to these towns will be felt
