Montana Republican House Members Email List
· Senate Bill 337 restricts where Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks can relocate conflict grizzly bears which will lead to more lethal . removals.
· Senate Bill 98 allows people to kill grizzly bears that are a perceived threat to livestock. This legislation would deregulate the limits on grizzly bear mortality that are in place to ensure populations remain stable and could potentially mislead Montanans into committing acts considered criminal under current federal law.
· House Bill 302 requires county commission approval to relocate bison, giving politicians the decision-making authority over the Fish and Wildlife Commission and taking the public out of wildlife decision making. This bill undermines the state’s commitment to managing species under the public trust doctrine for the benefit of all Montanans, and will weaken Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ ability to manage our state’s wildlife and restore wild public bison herds in Montana.
· House Bill 318 establishes a new definition for wild bison that will disqualify virtually all bison, including privately owned, those from existing conservation herds, and even wild Yellowstone bison, from being used to restore public wild bison herds in Montana. The intent of these bison bills is to ensure wild bison cannot be restored in Montana outside the Yellowstone area.
· Senate Bill 267 is unethical and seeks to increase wolf hunting and trapping by offering a bounty, or monetary incentive, for killing a wolf.
· House Bills 224 and 225 add snaring as an acceptable method for killing wolves and extend the wolf hunting and trapping season. The intent of these bills is to increase wolf harvest and has no scientific rationale.
· Senate Bill 314 has no scientific justification and instructs the Fish & Wildlife Commission to significantly reduce the wolf population by encouraging the use of tools such as baits, night hunting, and unlimited tags for a single hunte
