Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
It's paramount to keep these bullet points in mind as the progress of the bill unfolds. It was obvious yesterday there was a concerted effort to show residents this bill helps them. If you heard Sen. Hertz's softball question he lobbed to Minard, you saw it in action. Montanans elect... -

Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
Is it fair to say the strategy is to inflate perceived support for the bill by packing the hearing with all available outfitters or guides to testify in support? I don't purport to know where everyone in MT stands on this bill, but to a casual onlooker...one might think this is a slam dunk to... -
Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
What I find interesting (amusing?) in reading the perspective of outfitters who responded to the reasoning for pursuing SB143 is the tone in the narrative. From 60% of NR tag allocation as a "starting point" in negotiations, to saying this is not a government subsidized handout to belittling DIY... -

Aftermarket bumper input
Thanks to those who made brand suggestions. I clearly have the black sheep of Ram trucks in the bumper industry. AEV, Luverne, Bighorn bumpers...all of them don't offer a bumper for 2019 1500 Rams. At this point, leaning towards Ranch Hand given the price point vs. TDK or Move and bolt on...- d-edward

Montana mask mandate
Yes, as expected when he took office. I can understand based on the dichotomy between population density and exposure risk in Dixon vs. Missoula. In Gallatin, Missoula and Yellowstone counties, I also expect the mandate to stay in place. In places where people elect to not protect themselves... -
MT LE tag "confusion"
We live in the age of information. I find it hard to believe or sympathize he made an "honest mistake" when you can cross reference - before you go into the field - where you should be hunting on the paper copy or online vs. OnX or the regs. Suppose we also live in an age where it's not enough...- d-edward

Raffle odds, part deux
This. While there is an obvious difference in odds between your $25 and $250 examples, I would be more likely to throw $25 at a raffle chance and less sad if I was out that amount.- d-edward

Yep - problem with the newer trucks with the bells and whistles. More to reconfigure when replacing the bumper.- d-edward

Aftermarket bumper input
Looking for some feedback (positive or negative) regarding aftermarket bumpers. I had a disagreement with an irrigation ditch during hunting season, which has provided a good opening for replacing the stock Ram bumper. I've looked through previous threads, and it appears there Ranch Hand and...- d-edward

West Gallatin River corridor at risk
Thanks for highlighting this one - I've just submitted a comment to the planning department. We shouldn't underestimate the strain of another ~200 folks using the riverbanks and planned campsites of the development on the surrounding area. I kept my personal views on glamping out of the...- d-edward

Montana extends season (whitetail) for CWD
First of all, I resemble that remark. Second, while the initial intent of the management hunt may have been rooted in science, that train left the track when we stopped short of mandatory collection. Even if the additional samples would have only been confirmation bias - why organize a hunt you...
