Yes ... and they have thousands and thousands of affidavits and credible witnesses to the fraudulent I-161 election, as well as the 2020 "cheat-out-the-WH-King" election.
Before OSL was implemented, a Nonresident booked with an Outfitter to experience the backcountry of our great state. The state's wildlife management was geared to the wildlife of our vast public lands. The ranchers and farmers viewed wildlife as competition eating their grass/crops and wrecking fences. Two buck tags, a pocket full of doe tags and possibly up to five antelope tags and these landowners opened up their gates with a grin......my, times have changed!
And another 3000 NR hunters is going to make that better?
I agree. Let’s give outfitters another 15,000 tags so we can have better management.
Well until that thriving game eats a stitch of hay that a starving cow needed. Then we better hunt elk with shoulder seasons, give out a pile of doe tags or look for other ways to compensate the landowner
More BS. I must have a record then, go ahead and Google Robert Wood from Hamilton, Montana. along with many other guys like me that belong to Hook and bullet groups around the state. I collected a lot of signatures very easily. I know that there was guys that got threatened continuously for their efforts. Lessons from the past are very hard for some to understand and act upon. You think we don't have the resolve to go after this or any other OSL tags again?
You're funny!
Outfitters take hunters to places that you and I cannot hunt, or in wilderness areas. The public places is where the pressure is. When you see the masses next fall on public ground, those aren’t outfitted clients. Those are DIY guys you all are trying to cater to instead of those licenses going to outfitted clients. Am I the only one who sees this? It’s gonna suck. Let the outfitters take the same amount of guys they have always took instead of flooding our public lands with NR DIY guys. There won’t be a fork horn buck left. Why does no one care about quality!
Depends on the outfitter. Some a great and some shoot every animal that walks.
There are ten times the number of resident hunters vs non resident hunters. Yes, outfitters take some and hunt private land that is inaccessible to others, but they also hunt public and make up a small percentage of overall hunters. I see waaaaaay more 6 plates than I do NR plates..
This bill sucks for everyone but the outfitters guild.
That’s literally exactly what I said. The residents make up far more pressure than non residents..
I'm in agreement
Welcome to HT!
You have no idea what you're talking about, basically the entire National Forest system is divided into areas allocated to outfitters who have exclusive outfitting rights in those areas, and nearly half of MT NRs are already hunting with outfitters.
