NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

[OzWildlife]

I'm not a Montanan but I spend some time there each fall. I follow our own legislative activities in my own state, but don't fully understand the process in Montana. LC3901 pushes the NR opening day back 10-days for all upland species with the exception of mountain grouse. What is an LC bill? Is it a bill at all or something else? I don't know that I'm necessarily opposed to waiting 10-days. I'm just curious how the process works.

Ok. Now this is Senate Bill 514. It has passed the Senate and now moves to the House for consideration. It essentially directs FWP to allow residents to hunt 10-days sooner than non-residents on publicly accessible lands.
