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.

Funny, saw this article in my feed the other day and thought of the Bodington ram. Nice to see the comments ripping this guy apart.
Saw a different article from MT Outdoors that spelled out 5 winter ranges to hammer for sheds that are not restricted by the May 15 opener (and new waiting period for non residents) like the designated game refuges. So sad that people willingly sacrifice game security for clicks. Parasites indeed... probably should've posted last part on the influencers thread sorry to derail.

If that mule deer didn’t lay in the back of the truck with the hide still on in our unseasonably warm 65° November, while the hunters gorge themselves on cheeseburgers, fries and domestic beers in a local watering hole, they did not get their $ worth
