Sportsmen of America,
Our friends in Montana need help. If you haven’t heard yet, on Monday, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer’s Commission over Fish Wildlife and Parks voted to close the wolf harvest in areas just North of Yellowstone National Park. Here is one story on Monday’s decision:

This decision sets a terrible precedent. Sportsmen and Livestock Producers have every right to be frustrated. Montana's Governor needs to get phone calls from hundreds of sportsmen that they strongly oppose the decision to close these hunts and any restrictions on needed wolf harvest and the way the closure of the hunts was handled.
TAKE ACTION TODAY: Call Governor Brian Schweitzer today and tell him you don’t support the closure of the wolf hunts North of Yellowstone. Let’s send a strong message by making hundreds of phone calls.
Governor’s office phone number: (406) 444-3111
Talking Points:
1) Sacrificing the recovery of wildlife populations in these areas and closure of these wolf hunts sets a terrible precedent.
2) Considering the devastation of elk and moose populations in the area, there is no biological reason why Governor Brian Schweitzer’s Commission over Fish Wildlife and Parks should have voted 4-1 to close the wolf harvest north of Yellowstone.
3) The head of Governor Schweitzer's Wildlife Commission, Bob Ream, has admitted that the decision to close the wolf hunt was political. This isn’t good enough for Montana’s wildlife. Ream said. "Is it political? Yeah, wolves are political." Source: http://missoulian.com/news/state-an...cle_0fb2e7c6-4309-11e2-9eab-001a4bcf887a.html
