It seems like new hunters watch the Youtube videos and think they need to be decked out in the most expensive camo and have all the fancy gear that they see being used in the videos.
It's nice to read in this thread that some of you NR were actually willing to go home with an unpunched tag. I wasn't sure if that was even something that happens. Kudos to you guys.
A new amendment came out yesterday that would limit doe harvest to private land in Region 7.

You have until December 7th to email the commission...
This is the sad thing. As bad as it is, it's still better than where some people live, and there will always be people willing to come to MT and shoot the last of our deer.
