Ballot initiative fight over Montana trapping laws

Montana trappers are gearing up for a fight in the wake of efforts by an anti-trapping group to eliminate trapping on public land in the state. A group called Footloose Montana is working to place an issue on the ballot in 2010 that will outlaw all trapping on public land. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance has already begun contacting other organizations to see how we may coordinate to help oppose it. Those groups include the Montana Trappers Association, the National Trappers Association, and Fur Takers of America.
