Eric...congrats.....you have pushed my button enough to get me back on this site, which i almost always refrain from getting into banter.
Your response that lease fees would pay the bills has many angles.

While there is some quality of griz habitat (far less salmon now) in the SB Wilderness, the Bitterroot side canyons have a high conflict potential with people.....very steep and the
Forest service people/stock trails will attract both people and bears. Best let natural recolonization occur,
Have suggested such a stamp for years.....BMAs are important for pheasnt hunters as well as big game hunters. It is a "user pay" concept so if you dont choose to use it, the stamp doesnt cost you. It should apply to both residents as well as non-residents.
There is indeed a need for a BM...
Montana has some decent restitution penalties for poaching "trophy" sized animals, such as $8000 for large bull elk and $30,000 for bighorn sheep. They probably should be raised to keep up with inflation.. In fact, our law was derived from Colorado's some time ago when some of us with Montana...

Jorgy.....people are indeed concerned about other technology such as wifi trail cams. It takes people who get involved and will use some energy to get involved and see it thru to make something happen. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is working on regulations for drones in several states...
Jorgy....what some of us have learned about regulating technology is that you have to be ahead of the curve....before people invest in the newest gadget and then cry foul when agencies try to regulate their use. Now there is virtually nobody with this technology in hunting....wait 5 years and...

I agree these have been comfortable for me right out of the box.....only thing is they are coming apart after 6 months of chukar hunting and quail in Az.....
