Why is Tabor so resistant to limiting the mule deer season in Region 2? Good grief mule deer are up against it.

Everybody makes mistakes.
zbut given the names we were looking at (people with absolutely no gov't experience outside of lobbying or being elected) I think they did what they could with what they had at the time. National BHA, National Wildlife Federation, etc haven't really weighed in elk in MT either. Their local chapters & affilialtes have though.
RMEF's access model is to purchase land & easements to increase access. Staying out of corner crossing & prescriptive easements makes sense if your model is to work with landowners in order to create more access. Corner crossing & prescriptive easement issues are high-conflict areas. That doesn't erase their importance, but if you are a land trust (which RMEF is), why would you alienate the class of people you are working with to purchase land and easements?
Same goes for TNC, TPL, etc.

Lessons to be learned: don’t vote in shitty governors, who then appoint clowns to serve their shitty agenda, and then you don’t have to blame conservation groups for not doing enough.

Opportunity is cheap if we impact the populations so bad that there's few or nothing left.
I keep hearing the phrase "without hurting the resource" and I'm starting to think that phrase is pretty subjective.

MT BHA has been absolutely HAMMERING this issue, drumming up tons of grass roots support.Everybody makes mistakes.

And TNC, TPL, etc... don't have a mission that includes "to ensure the future of elk..."

They have done a hell of a good job at this.
yes, the MTBHA has been doing awesome work. The national chapter hasn't. National groups have a national forcus. RMEF is a national group. That's my point.

general opposition to removing statewide in-person black bear check. tabled for now, but sounds like only region 1 may remove the reporting.

Because he is worried that other parts of the state will follow and any time you cut opportiontiy it is harder to turn deer into cash.
