Drop in the bucket, this will have zero tangible effect in reducing pressure. But it will cause more point creep and price increases. Montana has had an influx of new residents and new resident hunters just like Idaho has over the last 5-10 years. Maybe it's time to look at some things that would actually help like *gasp* not having your general season run right through the heart of the rut and not killing a metric @#it ton of does? :dunno: |

Collateral damage without any true improvements to the deer population |

As much as I hate to see it happen, something needed to happen. The last two years have been getting far worse. BUT I believe the answer is in cutting out all of the antlerless tags for a few years.Resident and non resident. And a three-point antler restriction For that same three year period and I bet the herd would rebound rapidly. |

General season ends before md rut in regions where populations are low with only special permits available. I don't see how that would be controversial |

I sure wish they would separate the east from the west. I hunt the west and haven't seen another hunter in the woods for years. All public land too. Deer numbers are great in the west. |
