That was my facetious point. Accumulated bonus points would largely become irrelevant because in the aftermath there would be nothing worthwhile to use them on in terms of quality elk.
Bill barring permits in MO Breaks and other districts pops up
- Thread starter Gevock
- Start date
Rally as many people as possible and show up.
They are banking on people not coming to committee hearings. That's the entire reason why the set the rules as they did. The majority party in Montana doesn't give two shits what the average hunter thinks. They made their deal with UT money launderers & outfitters. The votes are pre-decided and the public hearing is a formality. It's process for process sake, and they don't want your opinion.
DIY resident hunters are not anything to them.
The only way these bills die is if there is a massive uprising of Montanans. Or if Nonresidents boycott the state & crater FWP funding. The only way you will matter to them is if you show up in force.

Sheesh this is ridiculous.
How can we prevent elk that spend 99% of their time on the N Bar, Horse Ranch, Galt Ranch Etc. being counted in the district populations?

To Ben's point, you (Montanans) voted for people who said they were in favor of crazy shit... but now you surprised they did some crazy shit?
But guns and small government and fake news and...

I'm in Colorado so I'm just lookin at this with no experience with these people. Just looking at the stuff recently. Seems pretty wack.
it is a combination of political payback to outfitters who bankrolled some of the dark money attacks in favor of Republicans, and a pent up frustration relative to having their anti-North American Model agenda shoved down their throats for the last 16 years. They're like a kid who just got an unlimited pass to a Nevada whorehouse, and they're going to ride all the rides at once.
It's an orgiastic explosion of self-interest & hate on the part of the outfitters & GOP.
I keep waiting for the good conservationists I know in the GOP to show up, but they're not there yet. Probably won't ever be now.

Page 55 of the EMP deals with this exactly but no one wants to read or follow it.

I've been trying to convince every like-minded hunter I know of this for awhile. I don't care how you vote at the nationwide level but I'm straight Dem in state elections for all the reasons we're seeing this session. Montana state-level Democrats would be considered moderate Republicans at the national level.

Forgive me if I'm out of line, but it seems you've come up with a conspiracy in which outfitters and corrupt politicians have come created a secret society hell bent on destroying hunting in America. I don't doubt the people involved in this bill are crazy, but that seems almost as crazy.
I spent every odd numbered year in the capitol working for resident hunters since 2009. It's not a secret. It's been in plain sight all along, but it is wasnt until Gianforte got elected that these bills had a path to getting signed.

I have decided that he only way to save hunting in SE MT is a petition to be annexed by WY.
