Dont understand why montana fish and game wont let us run bears with are hounds i think the montana houndsmen should push for it anybody else think the same.

I moved to Bozeman for a year and probably would not have moved back to Idaho if I was able to run bear there.I always wondered why they would not allow it with the number of bear they have showing up on the front page of the newspaper in someones house, figured it was because of all the protected griz.

It is about the Griz. Many of us have tried talking sense into them about the positive biological impact it would have by allowing houndsmen to run and tree bears rather then the alternitive. All around better opportunity in evaluating a sow and making sure she has no little one's.

Its real simple, I actually met with our regional manager today and we did discuss the possibility of running spring bear with hounds in the future but right now they have enough on there plate trying to keep our lion hunting open and trying to get the wolf season open for this fall that bear is not an issue for them.

There is a new anti rep that lives in missoula who belongs to some new anti orginization that there staff is made up of nothing but lawyers and biologists. He is already complaining about incidental killings of grizzlies in the libby and yak areas. As Jim explained in those areas they are suppose to be under a "0" tolerance and can easily be shut down to all forms of hunting if this gets through.

I have been one of there biggest critics but after working with thme first hand on the lion permits here in region 1 they have enough on there hands and are doing what they can.

Good God Tucker you and your old tooothless pot lickers have no buisness thinking about running yogi here in MT.
If it was legal you would surely find and old griz and that would be the end of ya.
Okay you could go run in non griz country but hell then the wolves would get you and those old chow hounds.
You better stick to ring tailed boars and forget about runinn after the short tails.

Run a bear give me a fricken break.
That old blue tick goona strike at 30 mph off the grill guard like ole iks dogs do.
How we gonna find atrack with no snow????
Then we dump some old cat dogs on abare ground bear track your dogs would look at you like you been smokin krack .
Hey we could get a old bear skin and drag it threw the park like those boys do that drag race after scent rags and you could learn them hounds to tree old Yogi,

Isn't Montana the most hunted state next 2 Texas, It is also known for its hunting...correct.
So it sounds like 2 me that you all havent banned together and fought hard enough, cause I would suspect that if every houndsmen and houndsmen advocate in montana could put a little pressure on and get your rights back.
I'd start by coming up with a strong case as 2 WHY you should be able to run bear. This is why we all need 2 join a universal club and donate every dollar we can to fight off the stupidity.
A-MEN

I agree.It would be nice if we had an NRA for houndsmen.I would take a chance on $20.
