    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    I couldn't agree with Eric more. I have been saying for years that we need to work with landowners in order to gain more access. By not wanting the late seasons cow hunts because they would help landowners manage elk populations is certainly not working with landowners. Isn't that what you mean...

    Boy you couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe you should wait until the weather changes to go fishing.

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    Shoots-here is my answer: last year I didn't get to hunt the late seasons, so I and many of other Montana hunters lost those opportunities. The shoulder seasons, who I believe you also opposed, aren't going to open as many hunting districts as did the late season cow hunt bill, so there again we...

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    Shoots-sorry got busy, but with the rain and I can't go fishing, I thought I'd check in. Well I heard the those groups got Bullock to vetoed the bill, and it would have opened up a lot of access to hunt cow elk after the regular season. This would have been much better than getting on the game...

    Kat Did I see that you supported the FWP following their Elk Management Plan when making decisions related to elk management?

    Vito-I have to agree with you 100% about mandatory reporting of harvest. Now this would truly server as a management tool. I think both of your posts, even if you weren't going to post again, were excellent. Glad you did!

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    katganna-you are missing Eric's point, all he is saying is that the Map and the reporting of harvest data serves no purpose. I agree that outfitters should report their acreage as public information, and they do as required by law. But the reporting the harvest data is simply a waste of time and...

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    Joe, I don't know how we got off on late season cow hunts, but you brought it up, so I am going to throw in my two cents worth. I am mainly a meat hunter and I was appalled when you and the MSA and MWF opposed the late season cow hunt bill and I don't stand alone here. Most of my friends agree...

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    That I heard is that the Board of Outfitters told Joe Perry, who had been pressuring the Board of Outfitters & FWP to produce the map, that he was told that the map was not accurate. The reason being is that the Montana Board of Outfitters (which is under the MT Dept. of Labor & Industry) was...

    Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

    Montana hunters and sportsmen are the ones losing when the BLM denied this exchange. There are only a few, 40-60, hunters that are accessing the Durfee Hills by aircraft, whereas there are about 1,000 people accessing through the Anchor Ranch into the Bullwhacker area. Doug Krings stated that...

    MT Shoulder Season Public Comment

    It didn't have to be this way if SB-245 would have passed. When these So-Called Sportsmen Groups, Montana Wildlife Federation , Laurel Rod & Gun Club, Montana Sportsmen's Alliance, Anaconda Sportsmen's Club, Skyline Sportsman Assoc. & the Helena Hunters & Anglers, testified against SB-245, they...

    Mt sb 245

    Better Learn What the Public Trust Doctrine Actually Says I have heard the MWF, MSA, MBA, PLWA... spouting that they believe in and follow the Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) and that the Legislature has no business meddling in FWP business or setting of FWP policy. But, if you all really...

    MT Mule Deer Symposium

    To suggest that the MWF is a fringe group is being kind! This group that states that they are “Montana's Oldest, Largest and most Effective Conservation Organization” is simply not true. They might be the oldest but for the largest, I beg to differ; the RMEF and SCI have more Montana members...

    Boy is the Sportsmen Candidate Forum a joke. There isn't anyone there. I guess the hosts should have given everyone a little more notice. From the guestions, it certainly isn't a non-partisan event!

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    Straight Arrow-Ben Lamb "Want to get the ruler out and measure who has done more for wildlife, conservation, and the resource?" Your efforts if any; pale to the landowner when it comes to providing habitat and improving the wildlife resource. I would like you to give me examples of what you...

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    The MSA claims to be nonpartisan, but who are they kidding? The MSA is a closed group with a very close mind set! From: Vito Quatraro Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 3:53 PM Subject: VOTE Just a quick reminder to vote. If you live in SD 34 where Kurt Bushnell is running against Scott Sales...

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    MSA is made up of pretty much the same guys as the MWF, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it most likely is a duck! True MSA wasn't formed when testimony was given on HB-361, but their President Vito did give untruthful testimony opposing HB-361. And that is why I am so upset...

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    I know for fact that there was much more access being provided before I-161, Archery elk permits and the Bison issue, all which were supported by the MWF & MSA. These groups say they want to work with landowners but they don't! Actions speak louder than words! Montana sportsmen are the ones...

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    So what do you propose forcing access unto private property? That is a battle you will never win. We need to find some type of incentive program to landowners and outfitters that would encourage them to open up more access! Using a big stick isn't working, not working at all! Meanwhile we...

    MOGA - FWP "public" meeting?

    BuzzH--funny thing is that Landowners don't agree with you and you are closing down more and more private property which is harmful to all of us! It is a public resource but most of the wildlife are locating on private property where you and others expect the landowner to provide habitat and...
