Fifth generation Bitterrooter's shouldn't have much problem finding private property to trap wolves on, Tony.
How many of those came through the youth expo, Paul?

To think that they have slid left shows you don't really know the group. They've always been pretty progressive in how they view land and wildlife management. It's Jim Posewitz and Gayle Joslin's brain-child. Did you expect SFW?
Let's just say that if you gathered that from my comments someone could put a wire up your ass and snare your head.I'll take that as a yes from you on I-177, Rob.
IMO, there is little difference between SFW and HHAA. Both are partisans couched as a sportsmen's group. That's why I wouldn't be a member of either.

Neither will first generation Bitterroot's have a problem finding a place to trap wolves, at least if they are polite.
They also can go to Idaho right next door and trap. At least Idaho has yet to be infested with as many anti-trapping, anti-logging, anti-ranching people as Montana has.
As usual, I'm about 50% with you.
Sounds to me like you are a member of HHAA, Ben. Not surprised.
Rain got ya down Paul? You seem a bit more bitter then usual.
No. It's snow in the high country. I'm having fun. How about you?
Used to be. My membership is lapsed.
Well, Ben. Maybe you should renew it so you can tell the anti-trapping president you are quitting his group in protest!
BHR - I don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth to try and elicit a response, especially when it was pretty obvious I didn't support I-177. I was just kidding about the snare; the price of scalps is so low these days that it don't cover the cost of cleaning the wire.That was professional of you Rob.
Simple yes or no is all you have to say.
Initiative 177 on trapping
The majority of voters polled said they oppose a measure that would ban trapping on public lands. While 13 percent remain undecided, 63 percent said they would vote against I-177 and 24 percent said they would support it. The measure has largely been backed with out-of-state funding.
I personally know two hunters who have had their hunting dogs caught in traps on public lands in the Gallatin in the last couple of years. Dogs, they not only had an emotional investment in, but were hunting dogs that they had financial and time investments in. To say that they were not happy would be an understatement.
