Dout he’ll be back oh mah.    It’s like kfhunter said. We are hunting “their” spots.  Dosent matter that 99% of us are doing it right. Still going to get the stink eye and the negative comments.  You can go to just about any state and the locals will be trash talking the out of towers in some fashion, this state included.

I hunted the B tag up in NE Montana one year.  I found the locals to be pretty friendly. 

My 2 cents worth might be that doing what any hunter ought to be doing anyway, such as cleaning up after yourself and your camp, getting permission on private land, hunting safely and legally, and being friendly will make you welcome again (and keep license plates from your state also welcome).  As for taking good care of harvested game (dressing and skinning promptly, etc.), that sure couldn't hurt.  It shows the resource is going to go to good use in a home that appreciates it.

And sorry if that came off as a rant or finger-wagging.  Neither intended.

If it's cold enough we usually hang them with the hide on.  Have you ever seen what a skinned deer looks like after it's hung in the MT cold and wind for a week?  It's a lot like jerky.

Thanks for the heads up.
Call me confrontational I guess, but I have a hard time thinking that lots of people from Washington only? would be doing this. Maybe I'm being naïve, but really...why would people drive all the way to eastern Montana from here to shoot deer and just leave them? I understand why locals would get upset because a lot of out of towners show up for hunting season and crowd the hunting grounds, but shoot lots of deer and just leave them?

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I didn't read his post as meaning they are shooting them and just leaving them. I think he is referring to camps with multiple people having multiple animals unprocessed. I think the point was that it made people think they were greedy. Kind of a 5 guys with 10 doe's stacked up sort of thing? Maybe they see WA plates on the trucks in those camps? Not really sure what his point was though.

I thought KFhunters first post was poignant though...

Ya, I ain't buying it either. Especially calling them out specifically. I hunt E MT - you see more Minnesota and Dakota plates than anything from our direction. The folks I talked to were wondering what the hell I was doing that far over. Just people complaining about new comers is all. I don't blame them - I don't like new neighbors either. But good lord would some of those places be hurting without an out of state hunting economy.

My cousins in Idaho call them the "Outdoor Channel wannabe city folk".  They can't stand the out of staters that show up in their pavement princess rigs plastered with Bone Collector and such stickers looking like they just stepped out of a Cabela's catalog.   :chuckle:  They say those are the folks who trespass, trash the woods and leave a bunch of wounded critters to rot.

E WA sees a lot of benefits to the local economy too from W WA hunters.
