--- Quote from: 3nails on December 05, 2025, 11:03:43 AM --- 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. --- End quote --- Deer numbers are terrible in the west. Nobody should hunt there.... :chuckle: |

I’ve been hunting there as a non-resident for nearly 40 years. We have seen stretches of lean and bounty. The east side spots we frequent have been drier than normal lately and deer numbers are down from a few years ago but not as bad as the years around 2012 or the late 1990’s. |

Took my best MT buck that year and saw tons of deer. Fast forward to today and we are seeing a fraction of the deer in our areas even though the population estimates are almost identical. |

Trying to help the population by cutting resident deer tags from 8 to 3....lmao. On what planet does someone need 8 deer tags. There is 4 in my household between Me, Wife, Son, and Daughter. We eat wild game all year, probably 4 nights a week between steak, roast, and Burger, not to mention specialty meats. My son and I average 3 tagged animals a year. Usually a couple Washington deer, and 1 elk. On a good year, we will get 2 WA deer, and 2 Montana deer. We still have meat left from the year before by the time season starts. |
