Montana House Bill 468 Hunting Bears with Hounds in Montana

Back when I lived there (70's) I had a bud that ran a group of hounds and one Airedale. The hounds he called his 'expensive dogs' to chase whatever they were going after and the Airedale to fight it until he got there to dispatch it. The Airedale had some scars and rode in front with him everywhere. Loved to fight, well, anything really. Skunks too, unfortunately.
Stopping hound hunting was one of dumber things that the 'unknowing, inexperienced' voters of Washington got to vote on. Sort of like standing outside of a hospital and polling to see how to do brain surgery.
