    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    So just saw this bill draft, which would bar limited permits in any hunting district with an over-objective elk population. Looks like this is targeting the Missouri River Breaks, and all of eastern Montana...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    SB 143 would create outfitter-sponsored and landowner big game licenses. It would add more non-resident licenses to the Montana cap on those, and allocate the majority of those for hunters who are outfitter sponsored. It would harm hunters who want to come to Montana for a do-it-yourself...
