HB 417, the bill that would eliminate limited entry permits in herds over objective is up tomorrow at 3 PM in House Fish, Wildlife & Parks. It is imperative that folks sign up before NOON MST today to get in line to testify against or for this bill. There wasn't the showing during 143 that folks had thought, so if you have an opinion & you want to let the committee know, sign up here:
Select HB 417 and follow the page through to get set up to testify. If you want to just submit testimony, you can do that on the same page.
Here's the link to the bill: http://laws.leg.mt.gov/legprd/LAW02...LTP_BILL_TYP_CD=HB&Z_ACTION=Find&P_SESS=20211
Remember the following:
1.) Dress Appropriately. These folks volunteer to be legislators and they deserve your respect even if you disagree. Wear a clean button down shirt, no hats, no sunglasses, no T-shirts.
2.) Be Respectful. You may end up on the receiving end of some one who isn't, but how you conduct yourself reflects on all hunter-conservationists.
3.) Be brief & don't repeat testimony. If there are a large number of people in line to testify, we want everyone to have a chance to say their peace. If the point you wanted to make was already made, give your name, location & say that you agree with so & so who just testified, and then politely ask the committee to table the bill (if you oppose it).
