Montana FWP Gives in to the Anti's #8247180 10/28/24 07:09 PM 10/28/24 07:09 PM

The changes are meant to avoid accidentally capturing or injuring grizzly bears in traps. Wolf trapping in Western Montana and the Rocky Mountain Front regions will start on Jan. 1, 2025, and run through mid-February. Trappers targeting non-game species on land in the western portion of the state must also get a free supplemental trapping permit starting in December. There are also specific regulations and restrictions for foot-hold traps and snares. FWP is accepting public comment on the proposal and will finalize the regulations at a Nov. 12, 2024, meeting. The meeting will be held in person at Montana WILD in Helena, starting at 8:30 a.m. The meeting will also be streamed online, and people who want to comment virtually on agenda items must register here by 12 p.m. on Nov. 11.

How many FWP decisions like this are ever changed by public input that does NOT come from anti’s?

In the world, my guess is more than one. P.S. Not that it is a conservation issue. Last edited by Dirt; 10/29/24 10:42 AM. Who is John Galt?
