Cebull’s last minute amendment wasn’t too surprising. Noticed multiple outfitters sitting in the peanut gallery, including Paul Ellis and Troy Sams, who have been pushing for unlimited 900 antelope tags for years. If they make an extra $5,000 - $10,000 per year it’s worth making ir worse for...
Loved the comment that a good faith effort would be to allow access and then add more bull tags. Or reassess if they’re even needed. Every person in this forum knows this is just outfitter handouts. The local FWP staff seems to be getting this rammed down there throats too and were quick to...
In Montana, I’m not sure it’s so much the fact that there’s not enough game wardens as it is they’re not allowed to patrol most of the state (private land). Can’t enter private in MT without permission or a search warrant and not too many rich people and outfitters are going to give the warden...

Posted in the Public Lands Issues forum too. Anyone else just slightly concerned/disgusted (but unsurprised) that the chair of the Fish & Game Commission and...
Anyone else just slightly concerned (but unsurprised) that the chair of the Fish & Game Commission and President of MT Stockgrowers is the same person? I believe Lesley Robinson has been better than expected as a F&G Commissioner but how do you take this action as president of MT Stockgrower and...
Familiar with the road and outfitter involved. Apparently the road wasn’t a public road registered with the county but was a gas tax road with its mileage counted for fuel tax allocation to the county. According to Montana law, gas tax roads must be open to public travel. But Montana law also...
After this session I’m not sure how Ler ever became Speaker. He treats everyone that doesn’t believe exactly like him like they’re the dumbest people on the planet. He doesn’t speak well or articulate clearly and has an extremely narrow world-view, which is expected for someone who’s never...
Maybe Ler plans to buy some of that “isolated” state ground with some of the $1,000,000+ his family has received in farm subsidies over the last 20 years. Ler is a welfare baby.
Maybe just oppose on the principle of season setting should be left to the F&W Commission and not to whatever hair-brained idea one of the Dinkle brothers has this week. Heard one of them hit a deer with his truck one time and thought it was neat so we may put a hitting-deer-with-my-truck season...
