Thanks again for the support gang…

“The bill died in judiciary committee. All 12 republicans voted against and all 8 democrats voted for the bill. Looks to be a very bad leg session in Montana for hunters.

There is a planned rally for feb 18 at the capital in helena. Co sponsor rep Hill wants to try and boost HB235 out of committee. Many hunters are planning to attend.”

David Petersen wrote: I assume this legislation specifies foot travel only. If it allowed increased access to ATVs it would work strongly against us. Every piece of access legislation must be carefully inspected, as the motors are known to try and sneak themselves in any little mouse hole. Before I would sign, I would need to know that motors are expressly not included. With Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife so very active in MT and other western states now, we must be doubly alert. Their primary goal is the insidious privitization of public wildlife but they also like motors.

On Montana State lands motorized use is restricted to designated routes and existing county or state roads…currently.
