Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water....
MT Leg is looking to go down the same route as Utah, Idaho and Wyoming in declaring public lands worthless unless drilled, grazed, logged and mined. The survey (link in the article) mentions hunting only in terms of motorized use. As in: has road closures reduced your opportunity to harvest wild game.
The legislature is wuick to ignore the $2 billion a year that hunters and anglers bring into MT's economy. They ignore the billions spent by tourists visiting our state (10 million of 'em last time I looked). They ignore your hunting opportunity in the process.
