Dear Editor, On April 28th, the legislature passed in both houses a bill that includes 3000 guaranteed tags for outfitters. If this sounds familiar and surprises you, it should. This passed in spite of the fact that Montanans abolished these tags by ballot measure, and the bill that was introduced this session trying to overturn that measure was killed after having public hearings. This breaks my heart, it really does. At $5,000 per guided hunt (intentionally conservative) this just resulted in... Full story

Finally, a Sunday without snow, although it’s cold and blustery, with spits of rain. Unfortunately, those spits were not nearly enough for this dry country, but they do help to keep our hopes for more rain alive. There was some advancement made towards the summer yard-to-be this week. A couple afternoons were spent clearing more flowerbeds; only three are left. Under a deep layer of dead leaves I found my daffodils were up about 6”. Flower buds appeared soon after the unveiling. Lots of other greenery was uncovered as well: day lilies, lil...
