Put out an educational video explaining the difference with examples? Oh wait, turns out those already exist with a quick search.
Your definition vs the other 85%I could be wrong but I think those chances at "world class" bulls in breaks/elkhorns were long done years ago...
Then all is lost. The document shared stated a large portion of the 40,000 calls they get were from people confused about the application/tag system. I would agree then that there is a problem. I would not want my staff taking that many calls and spending that much time on something that's easily correctable. Especially when the system in place is among the most unique in the country and all other states use a very similar system (to each other) and field far fewer calls for that same issue. Unless there is a biological justification for keeping things the way they are, I just don't see any reason not to change. Considering no other states use that system, I'd say the biological justifications are not there or only make sense within that specific system.
I can see your point. Refer back to post #6, point 4
The way things look to be trending, might not need to how to apply or what the difference between a tag and permit is anyway. That problem is way, way down the list. mtmuley
I hear you and I get it. But it is what is. It makes no sense to spend agency time, man hours, resources and dollars fighting "stupid" when MTFWP can just join all the other states and make it simple so "stupid" can figure it out.
Last time I was working on my pick up, the carrier bearing spacer wasn't tall enough to prevent driveshaft shutter during acceleration. I didn't ignore it because I had bigger things going on. I put some washers in there because it was easy to fix and I was down there working on it anyway. Why ignore a small problem only for it to get worse or continue to be a problem?
Because it will be at the expense of the public land hunter, that’s why. The good thing is, most of them are too dumb to know what they are losing or have lost.
How would getting rid of the two tiered pref and bonus point/special permit system hurt the public land hunter?
They'll confuse just as many people by "changing" it. Change is the arch nemesis of the old and dumb.
Go back and read what I’ve already written. It’s explained already.
I think you're misunderstanding me. That may be my fault.
If that was the end goal here, I’d support it. I highly doubt it is.
I have similar concerns. But I don't think that means we should recoil from any and all change. The public comment period will hopefully be our opportunity to advocate for positive change and makes the FWP more efficient and to condemn change we do not support
Easy fix, realize that a huge % are people that are dreaming up problems, going off rumors, job site talk, bar room chatter or could be easily confused by how to properly use stairs. If that’s a justification that will be used then those making the decisions should go man the phones for a few days and understand a lot of people are beyond help no matter how simple life is
Now that sounds interesting... hmmm. Silver lining?
Therein lies the problem. I think the majority of hunters in Montana are just what you described. It's hard to change that. mtmuley
