Can you explain that? Honestly?

Certainly. I find myself rooting for them because, tangentially, it may lead to other changes that make it easier for me to go hunting out west.

Walk me through how landowner tags get you (as a nr) additional opportunity.

The more likely scenario is that R and NR LOs happily screw your opportunity to benefit eachother.

The classic example is already referenced in this thread. NR LOs were given permits and those permits came out of the NR pool.

Hopefully not. Lots of money here though. Sometimes things need to stop. Transferable tags in Montana is one. The people here in Montana have demonstrated it isn't something wanted.

If there ever are transferable tags - it will because the R in this state collaborated with NR LOs to take opportunity from DIY NR.

Only way its politically possible - same lie that sold hb 635.

Sure would provide a lot of access though, especially if Montana structured it wisely.

Start a thread. Would love to see the elegant solution you have envisioned.

Somehow I doubt you’d love it

Thanks for calling out for explanation. However, it's highly doubtful that a logical solution will be forthcoming. The "transferable tags" ideology is a narrow mindset with no overall rationale that could benefit Montana's wildlife, wildlife management, or hunting opportunities. This is close to a Deja Vu of previous hollow Wisconsin "assertions".

He could be wrong. Im not opposed to the idea out of principle - just this statement as baseline of whats acceptable - are the tradeoffs worth it for the resource and the beneficaries (state R) utilization of it?

 

[Irrelevant]

Wow, some of you would totally support a feudal system, out of pure ideology, I guess? All because you actually think investing your measly little 100k salary is going to actually get you a mini fiefdom? Get you into the club?

I don't do what you're smoking, but it must be good.

I’m still baffled that non-resident landowner tags are a real thing. No beef with resident landowner tags and obviously regular non res tags, but that’s something that should never exist. If you want to own land and have easier to get tags, live here. Not totally on topic, but kinda related.

Draw a tag. One for every person applying. No transfers. mtmuley
