Harvest has been extremely low across the state and they have extended it before. Any guesses if there will be extensions in non-shoulder season districts?
Will MT FWP Extend Elk Season 2023?

My guess would be no, since there is still a lot of antlerless season left, but we'll see.
Good question! Been very nice weather, almost too nice, but that shouldn't hurt the harvest.
Thats not good to hear
If Montana fwp thinks they can make a couple extra bucks of course they'll extend it. I mean they screwed up the hunting up in our state bad enough with just the regular season why wouldn't they continue to make it worse?
Let's talk then…how long are your seasons? Ours are way too long, can literally hunt elk from august to February. They let us hunt the rut so everything with a horn on its head gets killed. We give out thousands of none resident B tags for both deer and elk. Every swinging dick with deep pockets is leasing up all the ranches we use to hunt and all our public ground is over crowded because FWP doesn't take in affect that with all the transplants that moved into the state are all buying resident tags now and still giving out the same ridiculous number of nonresident tags.
Yet you have way more elk and deer then most other states. Im with you, things need to change. But you have way more opportunities to actually kill a decent animal without waiting 23 years to do so. I feel like every western state could be managed better.. but once you do.. then everyone starts crying about lack of tags and notthe right dates blah blah..

100%.... ODFW once told my neigjbor who called about a tag that was pretty much 100% private, yeah we sell opportunity not success
