GG has been good on access, mule deer doe tags are limited and we have seen a cut in NR hunters. Something that I haven’t seen in my life so there definitely were some good things, I wish he hadn’t waded into the corner crossing issue. @WanderWoman

When I look at all the accomplishments of Habitat Montana prior to 2021 compared to the last 5 years, or talk with FWP staff about the access/lands projects that might have been, or think of state employee morale, recruitment, and retention (across a ton of agencies), I disagree. The B licenses doesn’t cut it imo and in five years the effects of that will be forgotten or we’ll have even more areas with high CWD prevalence. Not to mention on the opposite end of the spectrum we’re dealing with continued high quotas (archery elk, archery antelope) that greatly affect hunter crowding and public lands hunting… And how there’s this corner crossing fiasco. Can’t say I’m surprised by any of it, unfortunately.

I don't live in Montana anymore, but what I was most shocked at when talking with FWP staff is how little support they get from the top. I'm sure that's a big reason for the lack of morale, lack of retaining employees, and retention of the good people they have working there.
Giving an agency direction, not a problem. Being a heavy handed top down manager/a-hole that favors their donors over their own staff, sportsmen, Montana citizens, and wildlife...big giant problem.
I don't believe for one second that Clarks response to corner crossing is anything other than the direction she is getting from GG. What I don't understand is why anyone would continue in a position like that without the autonomy to make decisions. Being a puppet/unmanned drone in a position where you are allegedly hired to make decisions has to be maddening. The very definition of being micro-managed.
I couldn't do it, I wouldn't do it.
