270-50 isn't what it once was. Two bad winters, a couple years ago, and way too many lions, combined with some poaching has really hurt the deer quality here. I know 2 guys that are good hunters that had the tag last fall. They shot ok bucks, but they wouldn't even have considered shooting either one 6 or 7 years ago. Montana needs to kill A LOT of lions, not just run em up a tree and take a picture of them.
