But still send the email. Mine don’t get replys and I think they were not bad. I can’t imagine how more convincing anybody would be than you would..

Somebody like you would be ridiculously more effective in person with a short amount of prep than even two dozen voices of just guys that love to hunt elk. That is a FACT.
I will buy lunch and drinks…@antlerradar I'll chip in some gas money to get you to Helena.
For everyone?!?!?!?!I will buy lunch and drinks…
Yeah but who is feeding his cows? I am in central Montana on Friday or I would do it@antlerradar I'll chip in some gas money to get you to Helena.
I was gonna make light with a snarky comment about Doordash delivering hay in southeast MT.....but I don't want to make light of the fact that @antlerradar would REALLY be good infront of a microphone in Helena.Yeah but who is feeding his cows? I am in central Montana on Friday or I would do it
So do his comments count since it was email and phone call with Hank or did that need to go to the commission?I got to give Hank a tiny bit of credit my brother listened to newbergs podcast today and got so fired up, he sent a very fiery email to hank. Hank called him in less than 5 minutes after the email was sent. No way I would have responded to that email if I was in Hank’s position. They argued back and forth for awhile and finally agreed to disagree. It was obvious to me after my brother finished recounting the argument, that Hank is really good at distorting fact and misdirections. This has all been a calculated ploy. He isn’t a dumbass just a useful idiot for Gianforte. I think public land hunters are royally screwed for the duration of this admin. Hope I am wrong
According to Hank in the podcast comments to him are worthless. His part is to deal with the science and there is no comment period on that. Also if you call him out to commission those comments will be ignored since it is only the "social" issues that are up for discussion.So do his comments count since it was email and phone call with Hank or did that need to go to the commission?
Something tells me these poor non resident landowners aren’t as upset about non being able to hunt themselves, they’re probably upset it’s not easier to make money selling hunts or tags themselves
I think what's important to note here. As Hank said, comments to him are worthless and we need to recognize this. He may use your comments, or those of your brother, if they fit his narrative. To avoid this, the commission needs to hear them. Use their email, their phones, their social media, but be respectful. The Commission is not FWP nor state legislature so don't hold them accountable on the crap being tossed about by the latter.I got to give Hank a tiny bit of credit my brother listened to newbergs podcast today and got so fired up, he sent a very fiery email to hank.

Emails to the commissioners definitely let them know the social temperature of people who are paying attention to these proposals.According to Hank in the podcast comments to him are worthless.

I'm a little surprised that there will be public comment when the public comment period was to have ended on 1/21. Are we certain they'll be accepting comment on these proposals or just the other stuff on the agenda?Emails to the commissioners definitely let them know the social temperature of people who are paying attention to these proposals.
Hank had the opportunity to put these proposals in front of the commission. Now they have the opportunity to approve or reject them. I have to think that the massive amount of comments opposed to some of these proposals can have the same effect that it did on the Dec. 13 working session where they told Hank not to bring that set of proposals in front of them.
These proposals are essentially a repackaging of the original ones. Hopefully, the commission hears us and rejects these as well.
There are some amendments being considered that weren’t available to comment on during the public comment period. They have to take public comments on those during the meeting.I'm a little surprised that there will be public comment when the public comment period was to have ended on 1/21.

Yup. I agree. Talking to the Director is a waste of time at this point. We have all submitted our comments and emailed the commissioners weeks ago. IMO with public employees sometimes they need to hear the cold hard truth about the implications of their conduct. That's part of the job. The conversation was quite revealing. "Your biologist had a good proposal. How come you didn't go with that for unit ### since it was based in science?" Hank: "Really? What was that proposal? Well I hope you submitted that as a comment. Maybe the commission will pick that"....unrealI think what's important to note here. As Hank said, comments to him are worthless and we need to recognize this.

I'm in. Just swing over to northern NY on the way. If anything can match the persuasive power of antlerradar, it's got to be a cheapskate New Yorker who hasn't hunted in Montana for 23 years.I will buy lunch and drinks…
