You used to need a state lands rec license to use state land for anything other than hunting, fishing, or trapping. If you bought a hunting, fishing or trapping license, you paid $2 to allow you to do those things on state land. Now, if you’re doing anything other than those things, you have to...
Permits on public land? Sure hate for those clients to be on an equal footing With the rest of us chumps. Once again, below is why you hate corner crossing.
IT guy with a penchant for power trips and getting sued. Also enjoys the taste of the boots of those who can help him get what he wants. Big on not allowing any sort of scientific management be part of decision making. Let MOGA and their legislature and commission handle those minor problems...
Verizon is still probably the most consistent statewide. Some urban areas on the west side may have better coverage with T-Mobile but that doesn’t seem to extend to more rural areas. I’ve known people who live in Missoula who have T-Mobile and love it but also rarely leave town. Being on this...
Exactly. And even if the bios wanted to change the season structure, which they don’t, the Gianforte admin is big on the public and Commission deciding what hunting looks like in Montana, no matter how bad the idea. Look at the recent changes to licenses needed to run lions with dogs. Nothing’s...
Would I learn something different than they claimed homestead exemption for their house in CA? Which is only allowed in your place of primary residence. My point is not to bag just on Republicans (although they seem to make it very easy). My point is the politicians mentioned above would have...
Not questioning his military service. Just his commitment to Montanans instead of pandering to the next political appointment/election. I spent way too long in the military not to recognize someone willing to say any or use anyone to get what he wants. Never trust anyone with their face on a...
Born and raised here but has spent most of his post-military life in CA. Was living there when we got the 2nd congressional seat. I doubt he gladhands in Santa Barbara in a jean jacket and work gloves...
I guess this depends on your perspective. I’d argue the recent immigrants to MT have changed the politics but probably in a way you agree with. MT used to be a purple state that was relatively moderate and supported people with ideas they agreed with and didn‘t just vote party lines. I believe...
Our local rep posts a recap of his experiences every week on FB. Super informative and super discouraging at the same time. So much party line BS and whips telling them how to vote even as he admits that his constituents were overwhelming him to vote the opposite. Best line was when he talked...
Legislators >>> public employees. Rules for thee not for me. Best example is the bill introduced to allow MT state legislators to get federal per diem amounts. State employees get a fraction of that for per diem and most legislators never pay for their own meals anyway. Wined and dined all...
When you’re so entitled and oblivious that you can’t recognize how bad this move makes your family look, there’s a problem. Also Austin’s recent Land Board comments. I’m pretty sure this family thinks Yellowstone is their personal biography or life goals to achieve. Hopefully the ever expanding...
Tough to get applicants when you’re required to have a bachelor’s degree and pay starts at $25/hour. Most Sheriff’s Departments start around $30/hour and don’t require a degree. Most Walmarts pay almost as much as a new game warden. I have a good buddy who’s a warden and he said their vacancies...
The same DOJ run by famous conservationist and public lands advocate Austin Knudsen? I’m sure to believe anything he has a hand in. We’d sure hate for the FWP empire to expand. Maybe he can find a way to funnel some MJ dollars into subdivision creation. Unless something drastic happens, Knudsen...
A friend born and raised in the Gallatin Valley always says Bozeman started going downhill after the CNFR stopped being held there. That was in 1996 so it appears to hold true.
