    Montana Moose Sheep Goat RESULTS

    So Hunttalkers, Even though I struck out (again) this year, I'm happy to say the Montana Wildlife Federation board president Tom Puchlerz drew a bull moose tag. I can't think of anyone more deserving. He's a great conservationist, committed volunteer and passionate hunter who has given a lot...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    “The concept of a special interest tag was wildly unpopular and that was illustrated with (SB) 143,” said Nick Gevock with the Montana Wildlife Federation. “So what did they do? They rammed a bill through in a matter of hours with zero public input. The trust is gone.” With increasing...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    Gov. Gianforte should veto the outfitter license bill HB 637 HB 637, was amended in the second-to-last day of the Legislature to include unlimited outfitter sponsored big game licenses for nonresidents this year, and to permanently give an extra point to nonresident hunters using an outfitter...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    This bill blows the cap off 17,000 non-resident tags and permanently screws up the preference point system. It shows that the voice of Montana residents and do-it-yourself nonresident hunters means less to Legislators than outfitters. This action ignores the will of Montana voters who rejected...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    No Tony, that language was put back into the bill, in section 13. It was just moved.

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    Ben Lamb is correct, this bill must go to both chambers for final approval, so hit both the House and Senate members. And amendments cannot be offered on the floor to bills that have gone through a conference committee. It needs to be a NO vote on this bill.

    SB 143 - Next Steps

    HB 637, a catch-all bill full of problems already, was just amended to give unlimited big game combination licenses this year to outfitted hunters. It would also permanently give non-resident hunters using an outfitter an extra bonus point each year, giving them a leg up to draw big game...

    SB 143 - Next Steps

    Montana puts a cap on nonresident licenses for a reason -- to maintain it as a quality hunt. My NR friends who come here, and I have many, say they appreciate that. There is no limit in this bill now, HB 637, that keeps these one time outfitter sponsored licenses to 3,000. Could be unlimited.

    And the amendment has no limit on the number of tags that can be issued, so it could be many thousands more.

    Bill with no sporting reps, three landowners on Commission one vote from passage

    SB 306, sponsored by Sen. Mike Lang, R-Malta, would require that three of the seven Fish and Wildlife Commissioners be landowners. This bill came out of a conference committee after it originally proposed four out of seven commissioners be landowners. This is still bad policy that will give...

    SB 354 to limit public access up today on Senate floor

    SB 354 to limit public access up today on Senate floor

    MOGA worked on this bill through its lobbyist, and it's a clear effort to keep people from being able to reach public lands using prescriptive easements. Get engaged on this bill and make your voice heard.
