Montana 2025 Legislative Session

[INMT]

“(2) A person shall report their hunting activity for a game animal before they are eligible to purchase a new game animal license during the following license year.“

One can only hope. We’ll see if it goes anywhere.

I know the vast majority of these will not go anywhere, but I think it is fun to see all the ingredients (and botulism) the sausage factory entertains.

The average for introduced Fish & Wildlife Bills remains around 100-ish.

Last session saw only 78 or so.

Still no guarantee of factual reporting.

Bet my odds of winning the Montana millionaire are higher than that passing. It’s dead before it gets moving.

never know, its an issue that's going to have to be dealt with sooner or later. I agree it will be an uphill battle though.

Not saying it's what's going on here - but in the political football game - a BS bill that'll never pass can be used to get votes

So Jason, would you rather stick with the smaller subset telephone contact reporting where factual reporting is required?

I’m not saying one is any better than the other. I’m just saying don’t hold your breath that it makes a meaningful difference.

I’ve stated this before. I live where there is mandatory reporting. I know folks who routinely and deliberately lie on their reports so they don’t affect season setting decisions. I doubt they are alone.

I’ll just see myself out of the conversation so it doesn’t devolve into bashing Washington hunters.

With the deadline being after the new year, I end up just making it up. Hell if I remember where i hunted.

I mean, I can at least get the did you harvest anything "no" correct. But how many days? No idea. How many ducks? No idea. How many days chukar... "not enough" is never an option.

Even worse on the phone though.

At least I can look at Google timeline and give an accurate answer/account without stuttering through and trying to remember while I try to wipe a toddlers ass, cook dinner, or other random event that always is taking my primary attention when they call.
