Yeah the sarcasm must not have made it through.. We keep electing representatives that propose/enact laws directly opposed by a majority of Montanans on a whole host of outdoor issues. It's frustrating.
HB 635 and bulls for billionaires are like Keystone light and natural light. They are both...
Yes and yes. Go check out the hunting in New Mexico and Texas for what the short-term and long-term future looks like if we continue to get railroaded by NR landowners.
You are mistaken. I am not talking about the rights of the landowner. I am talking about the opportunity provided to the hunter.
If game animals are on privately owned land, no hunter has the opportunity to hunt them without the landowner's permission. On the other hand, if the landowner can...
I'm not sure how you can provide equal opportunity to hunting and fishing without regard to land ownership, when land harboring game animals can be privately owned.

No update, but I did see a recent opinion column pointing out that RMEF has not joined the intervenors. This is disheartening. How can an organization whose stated mission is to "ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage," sit this one out...
I was born and raised in Bozeman and still live here. Same with my Dad. Same with his Mom until she passed. It is the best place on earth. If the influx of people and congestion bothers you, wake up earlier. It is honestly that simple.
Nothing but good things to say about ARE toppers. Their MX topper had all the features I was looking for, including a coat-rack insert. Because as a Montana attorney who drives across the State, it is imperative to be able to strip out of your monkey suit and into some adventure apparel on your...
What do folks have to say about the new FWP Commissioners appointed today by Governor Gianforte?
As per the link below:
Jeff Burrows, Hamilton: A Hamilton native, Burrows has served as a Ravalli County Commissioner since 2012, working with partners to advocate for the responsible management...
