Hunting outfitters turned out in force at the Capitol on Tuesday to support a bill that would guarantee them a percentage of nonresident deer and elk licenses for their clients.
It is clear that Montana has been found. Since the pandemic has started, we have seen a huge influx of out of state folks seeking refuge in the wide open spaces of Montana. We have also seen a rise in the popularity of the state s resources. Now more than ever, people from all over the country, and all over the world are looking at Montana as a destination for big game hunting.
Now, for the states economy, this can be a good thing. Out of state hunters and anglers dump millions of dollars into our economy every year. Just think about all the hotel rooms that are booked, all the gas money, all the restaurants they eat at, all the sporting goods and ammo they purchase. It all adds up and is good for Montana. But, just because they have money to spend, doesn t mean you should turn your back on residents of Montana.
