No King's Deer

[Treeshark]

I wonder why you don't just buy a NM LO tag every year.

Proximity and lack of time right now, mainly.

 

[Wind Gypsy]

It really doesn't. But I think that you advocate so much for the program I wonder why you don't just buy a NM LO tag every year.

If MT and other states would get on board with a bunch of transferable tags those NM tags might become more affordable..

 

[Frequently Banned Troll]

Proximity and lack of means and money as usual. But I have an opinion at least.

I think he may be right actually. Although a lot of these tags aren’t all that expensive.

Being factually accurate isn’t necessarily the same as describing a more desirable situation.

If less people hunted tags would become more affordable…

If wildlife management were funded by general tax revenue instead of license dollars tags would be more affordable…

If inflation wasn’t as much of an economic factor, tags would be more affordable…

If affordability is the highest value then MT residents are in a pretty sweet spot.

I agree. Just pointing out a point I thought was probably accurate, that’s all.

We dont need your transphobia on a hunting forum.

It's about the same drive time from Milwaukee to Helena as it is Milwaukee to Albuquerque. Seems like I'm missing something. Proximity is not a great reason to push LO tags in MT when it is an idea that is going to just enflame the locals. Unless that's the goal.

Is this when I pull out my virtue card? I don’t really give two chits what people do. Other than selling tags in Montana maybe we can come up with a scientific phobia name for that?

#transferable-phobia?

It’s “quiet weak”

Is this when I pull out my virtue card? Tell you all about my boy spend last weekend with his gay uncle? Or how I thought his last live in was a pretty cool dude? I don’t really give two chits what people do. Other than selling tags in Montana maybe we can come up with a scientific phobia name for that?

No King's Week...double entendre everywhere

NAM is not static, it is regularly debated and revised to adapt to changing circumstances and stakeholders. There was no single "revision" of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation in 2024, but the model was the subject of ongoing review and discussion, with a specific focus on the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) Update and a "Decadal Review". The 2024 NAWMP Update, released in late 2024, addresses challenges like habitat loss through partnerships and community engagement, while the Decadal Review examines the Model's history and future in light of new challenges.

I’m on board with LO preference for permits and tags in recognition for the benefits that private property habitat has for wildlife in MT.

And this is where we fundamentally disagree--for all the reasons I've outlined from the very outset here and elsewhere. We don't owe our collective resources to people who are fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to own or purchase land. It is truly nonsensical, and betrays our sense of self-governance as opposed to swearing fealty to a king.

I'd sure love for people to start giving me free stuff in "recognition" for an ancillary benefit to what I do for a living, but I recognize that I'm not entitled to it. That kingly entitlement might make sense out east, but it has no place here.

As an aside, I'd strongly caution against saying Montanans don't understand or appreciate what we have. It rubs people with multiple generations of experience here the wrong way, and for good reason. We very much so do understand and appreciate it, that's why things are so good here. Generations of conservationists before us fought to get us to the point we are at now, which is a problem of abundance and distribution, not scarcity. And it is why we will keep fighting so hard against those who come here (for the many great opportunities we have) and then turn around and try and tell us they know what's best for us.

Need to define "those" and "us". Most the argument is between the Residents.
