    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Rather than limit number of NR’s, I’d start with limiting days. Sell them license with different length date period. One license for 7-9 days, then another couple license for 3-5 days. This would ensure them not camping for a month straight pounding an area. I’d imaging that there would have...

    We ended that game here on the house floor the other day. Hopefully it gets 26 & 1 now. 51-26-1. 51 house votes, 26 senate, 1 stamp from Gov

    Montana HB 907

    I’d like to know how many BM NR’s “ranches” are even “good hunting ranches”? If they enroll for a free tag they should only hunt their own ranch

    Montana HB 907

    I think there are better incentives than a bonus point. It’s like giving someone an extra raffle ticket for the cake at the basketball games

    Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill

    Already did that. Kept a bill alive in the house that goes a step beyond PALA, the program will be part of BMA, but specifically pays for access to landlocked parcels. The reason it passed the house is on account of my asking for an amendment to the program, which the sponsor agreed to.

    Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill

    The other thought in my mind on this is that the monies gained by sale of inaccessible state properties possibly can build a pool of money for the state to use to purchase a like number of acres (no net acres gained) for the public. The possibility to purchase better places with access to...

    Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill

    The reason I voted for it: these sections have no legal access. If sold at fair market value(FVM) the interest earned is more than the lessee payments. Not a bad deal.

    Thin the herd!

    From what I've been told HB562 will have a much better chance of making it thru, as the fiscal note will be more palatable.

    Thin the herd!

    My 2 cents. NR’s are part of the problem. R’s are part of the problem. I don’t like the number of NR’s I see in 6&7, I also don’t like the number of R’s coming to 6&7. For now pick your region if off the table. Mandatory reporting is off the table. It’s difficult at best to determine...

    Montana 2025 Legislative Session

    To me it was unbelievable the opposition to mandatory reporting. I heard “I don’t want anyone to know where I hunt” to “there’s to much govt in my life, I don’t want more “. My response was, “how can we Manage wildlife without data?”, fell on deaf ears. Even when I said...
