[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 769908, member: 8833"] Jeff: Don't read something into a person's comments that are not there, and I know what the funds for HB404 are intended for. This bill may try to solve the corner crossing bill but it's where the money is coming from that I have the concern with. Taking money out of the Habitat Montana fund to pay for corner crossing, block management and access "to me" is like Washington reducing social security and medicare to fund our national defense. HB404 is getting the money to do this by tapping into the Habitat Montana Fund which is funded by sportsman's dollars for habitat protection and acquisition. The FWP are already pressed for funds and now this bill will stretch their budget even further. HB404 isn't using any new money - they are reallocating money that was intended for other purposes. This bill needs to stand on its own as far as procuring money, either that or all other areas in FWP are going to suffer. There are many sportsman in this State that are well aware of the financial conditions facing our FWP and they are very concerned over this robbing Peter to pay Paul bill. If a person doesn't give a hoot about habitat protection or acquisition in the future than this bill may show some promise. If not then HB404 needs to come up with their own source of revenue. I have read the bill - and I don't like the money source. Here is another take on HB404 - I could give you many more.
