Montana Right to hunt

Montana: Right to Hunt Constitutional Amendment Hearing Tuesday, March 14
On Tuesday, March 14, at 8:00 a.m. in room 137, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear House Bill 372. This important legislation would strengthen Montana’s right to hunt, fish, and trap with it being placed on the 2024 ballot.
With animal rights extremists working every possible angle to eliminate hunting, fishing, and trapping, Montana needs this important enhanced protection added to the state Constitution.

The new language would read:

The citizens of Montana have the right to hunt, fish, trap, and harvest wild fish and wildlife, including the right to use current means and methods, which does not create or imply any right of public trespass on private property or diminish in any way vested private property rights. The state shall give preference to hunting, fishing, and trapping by citizens as the primary but not exclusive means of the state's management of wild fish and wildlife populations for the benefit of all Montanans. This right is subject to the necessary management statutes enacted by the legislature and regulatory authority delegated by the legislature to a designated public agency or commission."

Please email the House Judiciary Committee urging them to continue to protect the Big Sky Country’s hunting and outdoor heritage by supporting HB 372.

Don’t forget to share this message with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen asking them to email the committee urging them to support HB 372.

Every hunter in other states that are capable of doing this should be looking at Washington as an example of why they need to. And opposite of Washington, Montana's AG supports legislation like this.

I remember hearing Utah also did this a few years ago. What would it take to at least get something like this proposed in Washington?

In Washington it has to start in the legislature. If both chambers pass it by 2/3 margin, it has to be voted in by the people.
