    Artificial Intelligence and Public Comment

    The possibility for mass distributed incendiary propaganda and/or artificially simulated events has the potential to cause instantaneous riots and even potentially global military conflicts. Truly staggering developments in such a short period of time!

    SB 298 - Crossbow bill rears its ugly head

    The purpose is to ensure that no crossbow permit applications are denied (even for valid reasons).

    SB 298 - Crossbow bill rears its ugly head

    So this is the same bill that was tabled less than a month ago on a 10-2 vote by the Senate Fish and Game Committee members, and today this very same bill was passed out of committee by the very same Senate Fish and Game Committee members? What changed over the last month? Were the amendments...

    SB 497 - Attack on Stream Access

    I am not an expert, but I would guess it is from the centralized Montana Legislature phone line and comment site: https://leg.mt.gov/web-messaging/ The following is the link: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2023/reports/ See the bottom item: I doubt direct e-mails or phone calls are captured in this...

    Montana draw

    Not to mention the apparent fact that someone within MT FWP made the inexplicable executive decision to use two different systems for the application phase and draw phase.

    Montana draw

    For the archery elk permits that are undersubscribed even after the future allocation described in the MT FWP e-mail/announcement for those who had their permit applications voided like 411-21, 447-21, and 595-21, what will happen to the remaining unallocated permit quotas? If these are truly...

    Montana draw

    The crux of the matter is that for all the elk permits where they applied a “first choice” requirement in the regulations, none of them said “1st and only choice” – they all said “1st choice only” which is a very different requirement. The latter technically allows second/third choices to be...

    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    Yes, they were part of the 900-20 archery elk bundle and now are going to general archery and general rifle across the board I believe. There is better access than you may think to these areas and relatively less outfitting/leasing in portions of these areas. Additionally, if I followed all the...

    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    Good work by Commissioner Walsh and Commissioner Lane on addressing the 50 percent increase in the general firearm either-sex elk permits in their regions (4 and 7); however, Commissioner Cebull allowed HD 590 to have the 50 percent increase in the general firearm either-sex elk permits sail...

    Montana Elk Proposals with Director Hank Worsech

    I was impressed with the line of questions and comments from both Commissioner Waller and Commissioner Walsh. I thought at one point Commissioner Walsh asked why the initial FWP proposed elk regulations that resulted from the listening sessions around the state in the fall and the work of the...

    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    Talk about the divisive rhetoric that has put Montana in this present elk mess – UPOM referring to “anti-landowner hunting groups”! I am a landowner and I belong to some of those said hunting groups and definitely do not belong to UPOM. Also, I guess no Jana Waller?

    Montana Elk Proposals with Director Hank Worsech

    The MOGA salutation says “submitted on behalf of the 500 members of MOGA”: Could this possibly be disingenuous?
