Nope. Probably just these two. ^^^
Also the place other Montana politicians have gotten in trouble.

Depends on how it was handled by FWP. I still believe there’s plenty of MT voters that recognize right vs wrong no matter the issue. Those who it would buy more credibility with already vote for him no matter what. The fact that there was no press release at the time makes me think they were...

Should we be surprised?
Wouldn’t be surprised. Legislators (and those drawn to political office) apparently have a really hard time being told no. Even when it’s by other legislators. ie I-161.
What doesn't seem to be accounted for in the original bill is change. Markets and economics are constantly evolving which is why the free market is supposed to operate with minimal government intervention. If tomorrow scientists discovered some compound in deer and elk antlers that caused...
I think the biggest thing this thread has proven is that if DIY guys, landowners and outfitters think this is a fiasco then the only people left to blame is politicians and those appointed by them. I don’t envy them or their positions but they could make a much better effort with bills like...
That literally has nothing to do with it. A lot of us grew up as MOGA further commercialized our wildlife and know nothing other than hunting public land and BMA. I don’t believe I ought to be able to go on any private land I want nor believe those private landowners should be able to monopolize...

Pretty eye opening article about the bill. A garbage bill that both FWP and Galt refuse to own. @Schaaf beat me to it.
Free loaders. Try swans. We've got dozens in winter stubble. I swear they're digging to China when they're not trying to beat up the tractors and trucks. Can't drive a wheeler near them anymore or you might not make it home.
“Too often FWP’s leadership has been cowed by social pressure to reject improvements in elk management instead of following their own science.”
100% right just not in the way that idiot thinks it’s happening. Do us all a favor and go eat a bar of soap, Ralphie.
This argument could be made for all kinds of professions. Perhaps legislature could pass a law requiring 60% (or 39%) of people who move to Montana to build a new construction home. Probably a plenty of newcomers building new construction anyway. That 60% would not be allowed to DIY or purchase...
