Default Montana FWP .. Just a Little Rant

I guess I just need to vent a little... In December I wrote a letter to our F&G dept. about the hunting pressure on whitetails in our area... The state sells unlimited "Over the Counter" tags for antlerless whitetails in our region. Our Region (region 6) is very large...probably as large as all of the New England states combined if not larger. When it comes to managing the deer, its "One size fits all"... While there may be high numbers of deer in one part of the region, in others there are very few. My letter to the F&G proposed doing away with unlimited tags in the region and going to a specific number for each district in the region based on the population. So, what did the F&G dept. so? They went from 1 unlimited tag per hunter to 4 unlimited antlerless tags!!!! It's absolutely nuts and I'm so ticked off I could scream. Hunters flock here from other parts of Montana as well as from out of state. Whitetails have been literally wiped out in many places I've hunted over the past 40 years, yet the F&G's greed has overridden the fact... All they seem to want is the money... OK.. I'm done. thanks for listening..
