Montana to cut deer tags

[Icepirate]

Was visiting with a sponsor of the Clean Water Wildlife and Parks ballot measure 2013. Out of that the Outdoor Heritage Fund was created at $15 million. That passionate sponsor has never attended a meeting or has not once visited the website. They had a meeting Tuesday.

What have the done? Delta has the nest box program and predator trapping program and paying farmers to wait to cut winter wheat till the ducks have hatched. Those are all things that results can be seen. Alot of the other non profits do alot of pint nights and talking but see little on the ground results

I've had some good luck with our local chapter of pheasants forever too, they have chipped in some when i asked for habitat projects and things like that. They are handcuffed some by the organization on what they can spend their money on though i believe.

As far as montana cutting tags the last time i was in eastern montana hunting deer was 2 years ago. I had been going out there for 5 years before that i think. Each year there was some fluctuation on the deer we seen but two years ago was the worst. Buck quality is absolutely terrible in the area we hunt. Looking at the available doe tags in the area it seems like they were trying to reign in the harvest and each year were dropping tags. Also they went to only being able to shoot does on private land and the block management areas. When i asked about that they said something along the lines of letting the landowners regulate the deer better and to help push them off private land. Hopefully the herds recover with the changes.
