>>This post shows exactly how little you know. The outfitters in Montana don't get licenses to hand out so it would be impossible for them to walk into the local FWP office to return them. Also block management pays pennies on the dollar to what outfitterss or other hunters pay to lease land for.
>Lastly show me were a penny of the money you personally paid for a tag went into paying for block management. Those, as you seem to think horrible, non resident hunters who hunted with an outfitter and bought overpriced hunting license beared the lions share of the cost. If you want to talk welfare Block management should be considered welfare. Other people paying you for hunting that they will never get to do. If you are such a stand up guy then fling open the gates to your ranch and let people hunt for free, don't take money from fish wildlife and parks. Let them spend that money on other projects and habitat improvement on public land!!!!!!! >I could go on an on with you on this. At least I know my vote canceled yours out. I get your opinion on this even though I think you are completely wrong.
We do let people who draw big bull tags hunt our place,we dont get one ever year and our place holds some monsters.We have never recieved any money for hunting access.You obviously had a personal stake in this and cant handle defeat,you didnt cancel out the other several thousand people who voted this great bill through so dont get excited.Go down to the state office and sign up for welfare,its the only handouts you bums will be getting from here on out.
