Eric,
You always go to a personal attack. I attend almost all Boo meetings and I WAS THERE! You can't cite issues with Robin but need to go back to Taber for instructions? It seems incredibly weak to me that you can argue but yet not cite one fact! Taber wasn't able to get his way all the...
Moga continues to stick it to the public.
Just thought you folks should know what has been up with the Mont. Board of Outfitters (Boo).
After telling MSA that their legislative agenda was benign, Moga(Mt. Outfitters and Guides Assn)
used every opportunity to further their self serving...
Stockgrowers and Farm Bureau, we are truly disappointed in this effort! Are you joining the welfare outfitters in denying the public their rights? This should be in court not frying public employees for doing their job!
Look for the lowest common denominator in lowlife pursuit of folks(Alex and Robin Cunningham) doing their job, and you will find Moga! There is few orgs. that are as blatantly opposed to public access and trying to monopolize public trust resources.
Many of us refer friends to outfitters to...
Sen. Fielder and Sen. Hinkle were on Aron Flint's radio show. Fielder's Green decoy garbage came up again. Some MSA comments:

Instead of working toward consensus, jump in and attack folks who don't bow down. That tells me this bill is not...
Check this out: Room to roam legislation in B.C.
What do you think about this proposed legislation by our neighbors to the north?

Most certainly turn them into the FS and Board of outfitters. Nothing much may occur but it is a duty to report. Think of the poor folks booking this guy and getting the same treatment.
I think all conservation orgs should have a conscience. Practice what you preach. If we don't have an ethical backbone, we have nothing. These Gov and auction tags have resulted in more land being leased by outfitters trying to get a big piece of the pie, closing access, thereby eliminating...
Folks,
One of the things sportsmen/women are guilty of is not voting for sportsmen friendly candidates. Ask questions? Do they know what the Public Trust is? Do they know what the N. American Model of Wildlife Conservation (and the Montana Model) is? Do they understand BOTH private property...
What Cons groups do you belong to
I would like to suggest Montana Sportsmen Alliance. We are active in Montana and have a Pac which allows us to be active politically. www.montanasportsmenalliance.com
We also have a facebook page. Membership is currently free...just sign up.
I urge you to...
I agree that the board is purposely made up of an outfitter majority. They call it "their board", but never mention the first charge is health, safety, and welfare of the public. There are 2 sportsmen reps. and one public member, then 4 outfitters. We didn't do well last appointment time in...
Thank you for your opinion Nunya but with all due respect, I disagree. So do most of the thread but that doesn't matter to industry folks. It is not up to the outfitting industry to decide what they need to tell the client....it is the law. To what extent is the abuse? I've sat thru a pile...
Eric, obviously there are some valid reasons for some of those dim views. Doesn't mean they are all wrong. It would be wrong (and sad) to dismiss folks' opinions. The invitation to work together is there for the better of both outfitters and public. You don't correct perceptions with stuff...
Problem is for some of us, driving both on and off road on the same tank of fuel. One legal, one not. Too big of a hassle so most of us buy and use road fuel full time, even on the farm.
In the case of OA'S, you folks passed this bill with a sunset to try it. Try it does not mean if you folks like it....it also includes has it been analyzed to make sure there is no abuse. You folks should damn well be interested in that end as well. If it is so successful, lets make sure with...
There was a Master Guide category that was totally scrapped. Outfitters made the call, not guides.
I think you miss the point Eric, I originally said there are times when chit happens and you need a replacement quickly. The point is not what is quicker, or easier, or cheaper for you. The...
