He's got my vote.

Appreciate him being on our side, but just because he's the governor doesn't mean he doesn't need to be properly licensed and abide by all laws and rules of the great state of Montana. If i lived there he'd have my vote also.

I don't disagree with you rpmartin, but holy cow, our Governor is a trapper! A couple of years ago, he drew a moose tag. He and his wife went out and harvested a bull. He was so proud of his wife because she skinned it out herself when he had to go back to work. They mentioned another violation in the article. Years ago, before he served in public office, he shot a cow elk, by mistake, and he called the wardens and reported himself. The N.Y. Times failed to report that part though.

Anti's accept that animals killing prey is cruel but use a different (or no) logic when a human kills prey. I suggest that both killings are natural and necessary. In distorted theory a wolf could live its entire life without killing anything but plants.

My hat is off to him and his wife for their pro hunting and trapping stance. But someone in his position should make sure they are within the law....... no exceptions. He shot a cow elk by mistake? Like i said hats off to him but he needs more edgimication on animal identification.

He's conservative.

He kills wolves

He supports the 2nd A

He supports trappers

He owns up to his mistakes







I'm wondering if we could talk him into being cabbage head Joe's replacement?

Marty he is too honest to have a great future in politics I would think.

Double standard of enforcement, you go up to Montana and do the same thing and you get ticketed and lose the wolf, why does he get off. You shoot an cow elk by mistake you get ticketed and lose the elk. Sounds like great law enforcement to me.

Wanna trade for Cuomo?

according to Greg Lemon, a spokesman for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. “We’ve treated this as we would anybody” in a similar situation, he said. “It’s important to us the integrity of our process, no matter who we’re dealing with, is maintained.”

Governor is good for trappers in the state,,,

I met the Man several years ago at the NTA Western. Very nice guy visited with us for a bit even knowing that we were not Montana residents. I would Defiantly vote for him in any race.

Oh no...he missed a trappers ed class at his age? So what? And many states don't mandate it after a certain age anyhow. I doubt he's new to this.

That said I would have jumped at the chance to attend a trappers ed class when I was young...and think they are an asset to trapping. Mandating someone his age to do in order to kill a super predator, or else? ...NO!

I'm just jealous, your gov is mountains above my pencil necked liberal gov.
Mistakes happen.

Shooting a trapped wolf while possessing a valid trapping license and a wolf tag doesn't sound like a serious violation. Shooting a cow elk by mistake, Hmm. It does honestly happen but some people turn themselves in when they know they've been found out. Is he a chronic violator who gets caught only once in a while? I wonder what the untold story might be on those circumstances. Nice to have a pro trapper in the lead though.

You obviously didn't read the former comments.

He is a great governor, as well as the others he works with in office- veterans, totally into love of the Constitution and the outdoors. He is working his tail off in many house bills , shoring up protective firewalls for MT, and in helping to ally with like minded states.

If all states had his likes, a lot of garbage wouldn't be allowed to carry on .

Leave it always to the press to dig junk up , even on a saint....and I'm not jumping on the bandwagon to render a thousand cuts to a good person.

Who of us wants only our imperfection pointed out , with barely credit given to all the good one does ?

I for one and totally proud of the brave souls who are really standing up in fighting for our freedom.

Greg is a good guy, nice to have a trapper on our side .

Good job Governor. Good job owning up to your mistakes also. Libs never do.

I bet the normal rational folks of CO, NM, NJ, MA, IL, NY etc. Would trade their govs in for one like him in a second.

Maybe he can get the stupid law changed.
