Montana wildlife commission rejects trap check and bear spray petitions
Original: Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission rejects trap check, bear spray petitions
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission has voted down petitions related to trap checks and bear spray requirements. The petitions had sought changes to trapping regulations and measures encouraging or mandating bear spray use in bear country. The rejection is likely to draw criticism from wildlife advocacy groups that backed the petitions, while trapping and sporting interests may welcome the decision. Details of the commission's reasoning were not immediately available.
Why now: Conservation and hunting communities in Montana are closely watching state wildlife policy decisions affecting trapping and bear safety.
