They lobbied to have an extra charge for a bear tag and won. It used to be included in the purchase of a big game license and tag. I’m not anti hound hunters, but I am against one group of people getting to dictate the rules. Eric

Montana	I always liked spring bear, they opened it up for hounds in the spring which I don't like, any thing in spots I can get to now have them running things off. I like to sit and call, that can get to be fun. Shot my biggest, almost 7' squared, at 15 yards calling him in
