There is a wide gap between wanting them as part of the ecosystem and not wanting them eradicated, and removing federal protections.

I like having them out there, but the idea I'm going to prison for blowing the guts out of one for eating my chickens or getting into my shop is a bitter pill.

The shell game FWP plays moving them around in secret is an enormous waste of taxpayer money, among other things.

No DLP allowed in MT?



Life yes, property no. Unless it's what the state considers livestock, which does not include chickens, or dogs. And you're going to be put through the ringer regardless. It's bullspit.


How much are your dogs worth, in a monetary sense? Hard to value the job they do and the enjoyment you get out of them.

Like I posted earlier, a dang lamb seems to be worth enough to shoot a wolf or bear, but not an expensive dog, family pet or working dog.

In it is death and all you seek
