    Federal Land Grab Comes To Helena

    I will be there to testify and present two documents that should be of interest. First, an excerpt of the 2012 MT Republican Party Platform wherein it states "We oppose additional acquisition of acreage by state or federal agencies. Any public acquisition of private land cannot result in a new...

    Delorme InReach

    Check out this review as it was very helpful for me in determining what unit to buy. http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Personal-Locator-Beacon-Reviews I do a lot of big game hunting alone and my primary goal was to have the best unit possible to call in the calvary if needed. Cabela's had a $200...

    Making Public Lands Public

    This is a really great opportunity for sportsmen to get involved and support Rep. Daines LCWF bill. While the announcement from Daines focused on the benefits to Montana, this is a national fund that could and would be used by many states to help open up access to public lands. Rep. Daines and...

    Senator John Brenden and Block Management

    Randy nailed the financial discussion on double dipping. I own a commercial building that I rent out to a drift boat manufacturer and it would be like me asking my tenant for more money because his business is having a negative impact on my building when I knew what he was going to be doing to...

    Young Hunter Responsible for Death.

    Great to have young hunters enjoying the sport but have serious problems with the "mentoring program". As I understand the initial post, his father (mentor), took an unlicensed hunter out to kill a deer. Is a mentor supposed to teach their children how to ignore/break the law? What kind of...

    Hoyt supports SFW/BGF!

    I have done a fair amount of research on SFW/BGF and believe that they are not to be trusted. Everything they say and, supposedly do, must be independently verified!! I have owned 4--5 Hoyt bows and currently use one but it will be the last bow I buy from Hoyt until they change their stance...

    Sweet Grass Hills!

    First, MSA is not anti-outfitting as some try insinuate. We are definitely pro-resident sportsmen and pro-wildlife resources. Public land outfitters and private land outfitters provide two different types of services. The public land outfitter who sets up camps deep in the woods provide a...

    SB 380 Reconsideration of Bill!

    Big Shooter Your rancher friends made some good points but also missed the point on some items. First, for the most part, sportsmen are not behind, and often do not support dumping bison on the landscape without proper vetting by all parties including the landowners. By blaming sportsmen it...

    SB 380 Increase Non resident tags in Montana

    A few corrections to yesterday’s testimony. Mr. Tabor misstated that antelope and deer b licenses were included in the 28,857 nonresident elk and deer tags sold in 2012. There were 1158 elk B tags included still leaving 27,699 NR bull elk and buck deer tags. NR tags have steadily increased...

    All of you Montana residents need to contact the House Business and Labor committee today to let your thoughts known. They are hearing this bill tomorrow the 12th at 10 am. Time for all sportsmen to step up and put this issue at rest. In 2012, we gave out over28,000 non-resident deer and elk...

    SB 397 - Anti-Carnivore bill up tomorrow

    I was at the Senate FWP hearing when this bill was heard and do not remember a single houndsmen that supported the bill. I seem to recall one houndsmen speaking in opposition to the bill. Also do not recall any trappers supporting the bill. I made the comment later to some people as to "how...

    SFW on public lands?

    In case you are curious, MSA is the "phoney sportsmens group" that Keith was alluding to in his email. We are the ones who have been testifying in Helena 2-3 times a week since the session started in Jan. SFW has been rarely seen opposing those bills attacking our wildlife resources and the...

    Black bear hunting with in Montana-- HB 144

    Here is the best analysis I have read regarding the use of hounds and baiting for hunting bears in Montana. People have to take into account that Montana has a large, viable grizzly population and we have both spring/fall bear seasons, Very few states have this combination. Comments on the...
