Resolution on the protection of November mule deer hunt

This resolution urges Montana's Fish and Wildlife Commission to protect the traditional November mule deer hunt, particularly the harvest of bucks during the rut (breeding season), which is a longstanding hunting tradition. It specifically recommends retaining the current 5-week November rifle season, resisting moves to shift it earlier to October, and using 2022 survey data showing 71% of hunters support the current season timing. The resolution also proposes limits on antlerless harvest restrictions (e.g., no more than 20% of districts restricted in a season, for no more than two seasons in six years) to maintain hunting opportunities while managing deer populations. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change regulations but seeks to influence the Commission's decisions.
