    Deer Unit Numbering System??

    Well when you consider the most trees in the state 80 years ago was in the Turtle Mountains and probably where most of the deer herd was at the time too it makes sense. Not many deer out on the prairie originally.

    Deer Unit Numbering System??

    Allen is correct. Those also happened to be the areas they did there winter aerial surveys originally.

    Did you apply as a NR or how did that all work out?

    Deer tag system changes

    Maybe to you it's dumb but not to others. I only have so much vacation time a year. I'd rather spend a week in June or July doing some fishing or relaxing rather then save it for November and then not get a fricking tag. Why would being able to buy just a point be a problem for you? Keep...

    Deer hunting land

    Why that unit specifically? Just curious but not much public land the way it looks, I suggest getting out and scout and knock on doors.

    How many of you would still bowhunt if you could not bait?

    I've used a bucket of corn a few times and lots of apples when available. Mostly for camera setups. Problem with food is too many other critters. I've gone strictly to mineral licks now and far fewer coon and squirrel pics. Never have had much success at hunting big bucks over bait. They tend to...

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    I will say I feel bad for ranchers more so then crop farmers. Ranching is a 24/7/365 gig and definitely slim margins most years. Rather then direct payments I'd like to see more assistance for feeding and watering programs to get them thru severe drought situations. I'm sure they would...

    Deer tag system changes

    Exactly. Take me for instance, I decided I wanted to try for a mule deer buck once in my life so I started applying in 2011 knowing that my odds were slim to none I would have purchased a point the first 3-5 years at least. I'd rather know that I'm not going to be hunting then drawing...

    Best archery target?

    I ended up stuffing a card board box with old clothes and rags and it works like a charm. Stops the arrows quick and you can pull them out with 2 fingers! Best part is it cost me nothing!

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    I also don't see how farmers can't make it thru the last 3 years when the 7 years before that they were trying to find ways to spend more money. Maybe they shouldn't have spent thousands of dollars ripping out trees and planting roadside to roadside. Do you really need the latest and greatest in...

    4C Mule Deer

    Yeah the sheriff would have got a call on that one.

    Deer tag system changes

    I think the GNF practice of determining tags based on success percentage is a little flawed. Just because the success rate drops below 70% doesn't necessarily mean there were fewer deer, lots of things factor into success rates, weather, how many days a person actually hunts, standing crops...

    Deer tag system changes

    I think they should leave the tags and hunting seasons alone and tweak the lottery so some people aren't waiting 4+ years for a tag while another guy draws the same tag every year or every other year. Not sure how you would do it, maybe in the harder to draw for units you are simply unable to...

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    When was the last time that happened? I can see a fire or vehicle ban but closed down completely?

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    Wow, I wouldn't say nothing but I wasn't going to spend a great deal of time planning something that was unlikely to happen. Is that what you normally do? Life is too short for that. I supposed I could have asked this stuff 7 years ago, would that have made you feel better? Thanks for the info...

    Mule Deer Hunt Planning

    sweeney, You said you can camp anywhere on the grasslands, how far off the road can you set up camp? Is it legal to hike in a few miles and pitch a tent? Sorry if these are stupid questions but like I said I'm a newbie.
