Montana expansion of wolf hunting and trapping - 02/10/20 05:21 PM
The Flathead Beacon is running a reader poll on the proposed expansion of wolf hunting and trapping in Montana. The antis have a big head start on this. Please Vote Yes on this poll to help out.
Edit - poll time had run its course, or they pulled it because momentum was being made against the antis.
Thank you
Cathouse Jim
aka Sean Davis
Montana Trappers Association District 7 Director.

I think sometimes these kinds of polls are rigged. They don't really mean anything to lawmakers but rigging them to show false results gives people the misconception they are in the minority. An advantage when the real debating begins for those in the minority. Those that have been marginalized just give in.

You have to remember the tree hugger have a very good pipe line working for them. Every out door group should have a way of contacting there membership with one click. Every group leader should have a list of every other outdoor group leader he/she contacts to make sure the information get out all over the country. We are all in this together, be you hunter, trapper, fishermen/gal, shooter with rifle, pistol.

Been following this issue for a week or so now. Time will tell to see what happens but there is a lot of lefty's and tree huggers here, so don't hold your breath.

A BigThank you to all that replied and voted. Looks like they pulled the poll after momentum was being made. When this first came to my attention there were only 160 votes for yes. This was lifted from an anti site based here in Montana, they had a big head start. I won't give them any recognition and plus it is against the rules.
Least we gave it a good increase in such a short time. You guys and gals are awesome.

Yes I think they should expand it to read predator like a coyote and be done with it.

Wyoming has a pretty decent wolf management plan. Have a trophy wolf zone with limited tags to make sure they dont end up listed again and list them as predators in the rest of the state with a year round season.

I always thought Wyoming was spot on in there programs.
