Had some fall out of my pocket in junior high. (I realize that for some of you guys that was normal back in the day but this was early 2000's) luckily I had a cool Ag teacher. Can't even imagine what would happen now if it were my kids.
Yup. I don't foresee myself leaving the country in my lifetime. There's enough here that I'll never hunt/fish/hike/explore all of it in my lifetime. With the exception of maybe going bird hunting with our neighbors to the north.
People turn up mature deer in Sept and October all the time in other states. Give it a few years in Montana with no rut hunting and you'll likely be able to do the same.
As someone watching from the sidelines I really hope you guys get this through. I think it's a great proposal and your still offering more opportunity than most any other western state. If you do I think it may just set a precedent for some other states who are going in the wrong direction...
