I just go an update that Representative Bridget Smith (Democrat Wolf Point) is attempting to amend her bill to change the mandatory 24 hour trap check to a mandatory 48 hour trap check. All the arguments we put forth against a mandatory 24 hour check still apply to a mandatory 48 hour check, A mandatory check will create a jurisdiction MT FWP does not have and will allow them to come on private land. It will also give them jurisdiction over all non fur bearing animals including coyotes. It is time to get the emails and phone calls rolling again. This bill hits the committee floor tomorrow so now is the time to act. This is a last ditch effort to right a sinking ship. Lets not let that happen!
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

Pat, email inbound.
Alright, I don't know how something can be amended after testimony but will definitely be spending this afternoon contacting Chairman Brown and the representatives.
I think Custer had less of a challenge.

Jim, I just got another call saying they don't think they will allow the amendment. Still emailing anyway.

Emails sent to Chairman Bob Brown and all the Representatives here on my end. My wife is currently composing hers to email.

People like Bridget Smith make me sad to call the Wolf Point area my hometown. We Ned to put a stop to this frivolous attempt to put a end to trapping here in Montana. Allan

HB287 has been postponed for executive action until next Tuesday, the committee ran out of time.
