This podcast looks at why hunting systems have become so complex, specifically how state legislatures (rather than biologists) often create \"harebrained\" rules like Montana’s \"one-point sandwich\" and New Mexico’s 0.75 rounding rule. Other key highlights include: Why applying as a party in New Mexico can actually hurt your odds. Explaining how you can be \"unsuccessful\" and \"successful\" at the same time in the Montana draw cycle. A candid look at how Montanan legislative \"handouts\" and carve-outs have pushed nonresident numbers far beyond the original 17,000 non-resident tag caps. Learn more about your ad choices.
