SB 91 Clarify what constitutes as shooting from a vehicle for hunting purposes

Montana Sportsmen Alliance opposes HB 91

SB 91 Hinkle  Clarify what constitutes as shooting from a vehicle for hunting purposes

This bill results from an outfitter getting pinched for a couple clients road hunting and shooting illegally.  While we don’t have a problem with clarification, but there remains no provision for shooting using a vehicle rest.  We are constantly chided by outfitters about shakey ethics from regular hunters.  How about some ethics from outfitters? 

We feel there MUST be separation from the vehicle….a small ask.  Handicapped hunters are already covered by their own legislation.

This bill has passed the Senate and headed for House F&G for a hearing 2/14/17 at 3PM.
