Gianforte prioritizing out-of-state profiteers

If you live in Montana, then you already know that our hunting and fishing are the envy of the entire nation. It doesn’t matter whether it’s trout, elk or upland birds, or whitetails, waterfowl or mule deer.  Montana, with its untamed mountains and vast prairies, is a true sportsman’s paradise.  

 At the same time, every hunter or angler worthy of the name should recognize that the stellar professionals at Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks deserve a huge share of the credit. Without our incredibly talented and dedicated biologists and managers, we don’t have great elk hunting, or the finest wild trout fisheries in the Lower 48, or the chance to shoot pheasants, ducks or sharp-tails when the weather cools and the season opens.  Our wildlife and fisheries professionals do the hard work — the never-ending work —to make Montana a little slice of heaven for all of us who hunt and fish.

Or at least they did until Gov. Greg Gianforte took an axe to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
