Jason Phelps：近年来蒙大拿州骡鹿数量显著下降，可能原因包括连续两年的干旱、严冬以及郊狼数量的增加。此外，狩猎压力过大，特别是母鹿的捕杀数量过多，以及狩猎季节过长，都可能加剧了这一问题。一些易于到达的公共狩猎区域的狩猎压力尤其大，导致鹿群数量和质量下降。为了保护骡鹿种群，建议调整狩猎政策，例如将某些区域改为抽签制，限制狩猎季节长度，减少母鹿狩猎许可证的发放数量，并加强对狩猎区域的管理。虽然并非所有前往蒙大拿州狩猎的人都必须猎杀鹿，但长途跋涉狩猎鹿的成本很高，如果只是为了填补冰箱，不如直接购买肉类。此外，应优先猎杀成熟的鹿，而不是年轻的鹿，以保护种群的遗传多样性和健康发展。鹿角点数限制可能导致平均鹿角大小下降，并且减少每年猎杀的鹿的数量。 Tyson Drevniak：蒙大拿州骡鹿数量下降明显，这与连续两年的干旱和严冬以及郊狼数量的增加有关。狩猎者应该利用地形优势，避免被鹿发现，并注意风向。首次蒙大拿州骡鹿狩猎应先广泛搜索，找到鹿群后再集中精力。在狩猎过程中，要观察鹿的活动，决定是否立即行动。骡鹿的发情期鹿群位置变化频繁，大风会影响骡鹿的活动和觅食，使狩猎变得困难。蒙大拿州发放大量母鹿狩猎许可证，可能与骡鹿数量下降有关。一些易于到达的公共狩猎区域狩猎压力过大，导致鹿群数量和质量下降。

They dive into multiple drought years, harsh winters coupled with predator problems, as well as some hunter and management issues that could be effecting the populations.
