The Antis got an initiative on the ballot this fall in MT to ban all trapping on public land.

http://www.montanatrappers.org/177.htm

The ignorance, and torrential hypocrisy of the animal rights folks can still be beat in the west where most of the food and resources that sustain them come from.

But it takes money for media to make the stakeholders aware, and get them to the voting booth.

If you can help please do.

If you can spread the word on social media please do.

This is the contact info for Jim Buell, from the Montana Trappers Association, they are going to need monetary help to get the word out, (buy ad time) and get the sportsmen to the polls. If you would like to help here is Jim's contact info.

Old School donations like checks or money orders, you can send them to Jim Buel.

Jim Buell, P.O. Box 133, Gildford, MT 59525 406-376-3178 [email protected]

Their Go Fund Me Page, which can be shared on Facebook, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this post.

If you can share this info on your favorite social media that would be great.

the Montana Bowhunters Association and the Traditional Bowhunters of Montana are stepping up to the plate big time on this issue...

Many Hook and bullet orgs are looking to jump in both vocally and financially.

I'm in with $ support.

Keep it up,

Thx

Awesome. I'm in. Monetarily and in any other way possible. I'd like to copy and paste this to the Leatherwall if possible. Maybe the moderator, who closed my thread on it last week on this topic, would reconsider it not "traditional" related or, too political for his tastes, after reading this.

God Bless men.

if they pull this off do you think they will quit there?

Or are they then focusing on archery?

I don't think they see a difference between traditional, or modern equip.

copy and paste to every facebook and hunting/fishing site you want to/belong to.

My thoughts exactly. I did it anyways. God Bless

Two things come to mind. 1) Initiative and Referendum is a bad idea. 2) We must push for adding Hunting, Fishing and Trapping rights to our State Constitutions.

"We must push for adding Hunting, Fishing and Trapping rights to our State Constitutions."

If I understand it right, MT already has that on the books. It's not stopping them from trying to ban it on public lands, which is essentially banning it. ARAs are always looking for ways around and loop holes to further their agenda.

MT you kicked the antis in the teeth.

Thank you MT!

And I'm sure the normal, common sense Montanans thank everyone that helped.

I thank Everyone that helped!

Thank You!
