Good morning friends and family. It's Tuesday morning, exactly 2 weeks before the elections. Last night I received word from MOGA that Judge Sherlock in Helena did not rule in our favor regarding the court case to dismiss I-161 on the grounds of fraudulent signature gathering activities. So, it's on the ballot.
Where do we go from here? All we can do at this point is get the word out. I'm weary of writing the same old rhetoric- it's bad for the economy, bad for the FW&P, bad for sportsmen, etc. You all know this. Now we need the people of Montana to know this. What can you do? If you live in Montana, order a sign. Put it in your yard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Write letters to the editors of our local newspapers. You can do this if you don't live in Montana. I just hope that when the dust settles, the people of Montana will see I-161 for what it really is- Kurt Kephart's vendetta against the outfitting industry.
Nothing more.
If I-161 passes, the sportsmen of Montana will see NO reciprocal benefit. It will ultimately hurt both hunters and outfitters in our great state.

Oh- we had a GREAT time this year in hunting camp. Met some great new guys and reconnected with some old friends. I'll post more later.
Until then,
Happy Trails,
Greg
