I am curious how many of you former Montanans are taking advantage of the Native Montanan hunting licenses.

I was born in Montana. (But now I've been an ND resident for the past 2 years) My father and sister still live in MT, so I qualify for the discounted tags. It's a great benefit for us MT born hunters who want to keep coming back. It definitely keeps some cash in my pocket. And it will keep me coming back to Montana year after year. Whereas I would probably put more effort in other states if the benefit didn't exist.
With the spotlight on legislation in regards to special licenses, fees, etc., I'm concerned this special license will most likely be changed. Here's a link for the bill.

I plan to express my appreciation for the license in its current state and explain how it is beneficial to both the ones that qualify for it, and how it is beneficial to the FWP and the state. I'd like to add that I'm not opposed to a slight proportional increase to these tags fees. I know resident tag price increases are being looked at and most residents are willing to pay a little extra. As am I for these special tags. I just don't want to see it totally go away.
Here is a link to where you can send a message to the House FWP committee and the Senate Fish and Game committee: http://leg.mt.gov/css/Sessions/64th/legwebmessage.asp
I urge any of you using this program to send each committee a message and express your thoughts on it.
