This would be funnier if that wasn’t the truth at the first round of public meetings.

The commission is hitting dingers. Hope this passes.

Some folks offering support via Zoom or in person at the Dec.4 meeting will go a long way towards making it a reality. If commissioners are sticking out their necks for more conservative management the hunters who agree with them shouldn’t leave them hanging.

The commission does seem like they are coming up with some good ideas…figures…right as I discovered all this sweet Wisconsin firearm hunting for yuge public land bucks

My goodness, be careful. You're going to give MT residents the vapors.

I would never post an idea so dangerous and risky if I used my real name.

That's what makes it funny

You could recoup most of that loss with a minor $10-15 resident general tag increase which is still very inexpensive imo.

Also could do a $150 non refundable application fee kind of like Arizona does when you have to buy a base hunting license for non residents.

Good amendment by Commissioner Robinson. It will be interesting to see where they make up for the loss of revenue.

I'm not sure how much of the state this applies to, but seems like a good amendment by Commissioner Wargo as well.
