SB 143 MT Scenario - does anyone know?

In 5 years your only going to be able to hunt your own state unless your rich.

This isn’t just Montana. Everywhere certain groups want everything to themselves.

More ballot box biology. Happening everywhere

If this had been introduced at 39% it would have been shot down. Instead it started as a much higher number and got scaled back to 39%. Now people are acting like "thank goodness only 39%". What are complete crock of crap. Not sure if I'm going to apply to Montana again and the jackasses who passed this will be getting emails from me. Lots and lots of emails.

Anyone who doesn't understand how this is a huge step in the wrong direction lives in a whole different world than most people out there, resident or not of Montana.

This bill has nothing to do with a ballot box or biology.

This is duly elected Montana State politicians legislating welfare to the outfitting industry via a public asset...period.

The public gets what they vote for.

Not directly ballot box biology. It’s elected officials making decisions on how tags are allocated based on a group that will gain financially from the situation that can and will change what’s happening in the hills.

Either way same shit is happening all over. A group isn’t happy with their piece of the pie and wants the whole damn thing.

We do stand on the same side on this issue it seems.

You get what you vote for is right, unfortunate it’s that way with wildlife too.

Yeah, about like being better than taking a bite of turd sandwich, instead of the chit sandwich.

Won't impact me as a NR hunter in Montana, since I'm a Montana Native I get a half priced deer, elk, and or deer/elk combo OTC...but feel sorry for the guys that have to put in.

You just lost 39% of your available tags.

Elections have consequences and you get what you vote for.

I’m in the same boat as you but NR can’t vote in state elections and from what I see this isn’t bad for residents.

Most all residents are against this bill, exception being the few who benefit from this subsidy bill. Residents are applying pressure to this bill; more than any bill on any topic in the Legislature.

Yet, we have members of that Senate Committee say, "I got 7,000 emails last week that were against this bill. I've got better things to do." In other words, I'm ignoring the 7,000 folks who took the time to email, thousands of whom are residents, and I'mma listen to the 20 folks who support it.

With that kind of FU attitude, we need to redirect the pressure from non-residents to the businesses that self-guided hunters can get the attention of. Non-residents have way more sway with local Chambers of Commerce, lobbying groups who represent motels, bars, restaurants, etc. than do residents. That is where we need non-resident pressure.

Residents have some sway with those who we can oppose in elections. Combining resident pressure on politicians and non-resident pressure on Chambers of Commerce and their business members is going to be more effective in the next steps.
