But since there are essentially no consequences, so what? If there is no disincentive, they will continue doing it.Follow the lead.
FWP admits commission’s violation of public’s constitutional righ
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks attorneys have acknowledged that FWP commissioners violated the public’s constitutional right-to-know and agreed to require the commission make their wildlife decisions and dealings more transparent.missoulacurrent.com
Agree, and maybe that is why hunters don't show up. Changing the Constitution to get them elected isn't going to happen, and I would guess if you did the same type of people would be elected anyway.
I didn't say that, YOU did. Hopefully you will send thank you notes. You may want to read through the emails on the website and see who suggested the idea.
It’s a great first step even if it’s years late . Next , the residents of Montana need to push hard for LE in every district for mule deer
Good luck. Make sure that email comes from [email protected] if you want it to be given any consideration.
If it’s a good proposal why does it matter where it came from?
I used to think electing them was the answer, but it’s not. You’d just get the best heeled(richest) folks buying an elected position and getting what they want.
Stay to home, I hope.
That’s where I’m at . I’ve been hunting Montana almost my entire life and I fricking love your state . And I hate what’s happening and I want change and I don’t care where it comes from . Even if it means way less opportunities for me
I feel the same way, as a resident.
I agree that electing them could be a mess. Idaho came close to getting that on the ballot a couple decades ago but it didn’t happen. I’ve never heard it proposed since.
Like, kind of similar to how it is now?
But it doesn’t take more than 10 posts before someone is blaming you (NRs) for the problem. Even the outfitter is telling us to stay home.
FWP should've been the ones to say it a long time ago. 57% of buck harvest in R7 in 22'? C'mon man
Residents should be pissed this ever happened. It is interesting if you go through the harvest statistics. It has happened before. (Early 2000’s). I don’t know how accurate it is with fwp data but the last two years showed it and there should have been a hard stop at region 7. Harvest stats also slightly favor residents as the dink killers. A rabbit hole I probably should have never gone down.
If you didn’t have Facebook pages sharing waypoints and ONLY hunt eastern MT, residents might feel different about it
The residents in R7 know , or have known for many years now that the mule deer are in huge trouble that’s why 57% of buck harvest in 22’ was from NR cuz a lot of R in 7 aren’t hunting mule deer in 7 . That’s a major part of it . We need regional caps but not just for NR . For every hunter . I still say R are gonna have to give up opportunity . The no b tags on public is a huge step
