[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 159521, member: 983"] For those of you that have hunted Montana BMA's, how did that process go? I will tell you that when I tried, it sucked. This was a few years ago, but everything that was there was tied up with hunters that had gotten the limited permission. But, they never hunted. They were empty each day, but the daily quota of hunters was taken up. It was extremely frustrating to say the least. Beyond the habitat issue, two things need to be managed to have a REALLY GOOD public hunting area- land owners must be able to know/somewhat control who & how many are on their land AND the number of hunters allowed on an area each day/week must be managed. No every landowner is open to letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry hunt their ground. Look at the example Norske pointed out, too many stupid people. And second, even with premium habitat, if it gets pounded each and every day, you won't have critters. I have seen it endlessly in SD. Great habitat that is empty after opening weekend. It just gets overhunted. [/QUOTE]
