Groups bring private hunting schemes to Montana

The welfare queens of wildlife have made their way into Montana, hiding behind sage grouse, a way to push their agenda of private hunting and fishing. The culprits, the fattest hogs at the government entitlement trough when it comes to wildlife groups with clever names like Big Game Forever and Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife.

Big Game Forever director Ryan Benson has been touting sage grouse as the end of public hunting on public land. Ironic, because BGF and their close ally SFW have done more to end public hunting in their home state of Utah. Both groups have done this with private landowner tags and a giant auction in which both groups net millions in profit while the regular sportsman is cut out of hunting opportunity.
