TRAPPING CONTINUED Finally, the animal rights activists that support I-177 cunningly quote an old trapper who used methods 50 years ago that are illegal under today’s existing laws. Plus, they quote activists in Europe to justify public land restrictions in Montana. Animal rights leader Wayne Pacelle declared "We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States”. Do not believe that I-177 won’t affect hunting in Montana. Vote NO on I-177. It is bad for wildlife, bad for ranchers, and bad for Montana. Your kids and grandkids will thank you. Wolf Trapper Class MFWP will host a wolf trapper certification class on Saturday, August 27 from 9:00AM until 3:00PM at the FWP Region 2 Office. 3201 Spurgin Road, Missoula, MT Classes are free. If interested register online at fwp.mt.gov. Follow the links to “Hunter Education”. There is another class in Bozeman Aug 13 and in Kalispell December 10th. Publisher Note: I took this class last year and it was very informative and worth the sit. To really hone your wolf trapping skills or trapping skills in general seek out a local wolf trapper in your area to mentor under. 6
