Bummer, catching rain in MT is illegal? It was illegal in CO until a few years ago, just watered my struggling raspberries from one of our barrels.Yes, but in the OP's state, rain catches are technically illegal, since all of the water belongs to the citizens of the state. Selectively prosecuted (usually folks building ponds on ranch or farm land), but overreach from the other side, nonetheless.
IMHO, too much inertia for 2025 to have large impact on hunting and fishing, conservation, as there are a lot of conservative hunters and fishermen. We have to be vigilent, but either wing of the black bird wants to respond to the folks with $$$ in their fists.
Sure wish CO had MT's stream access law, though...
