Schweitzer’s old roommate will run the state’s wildlife agency-

Maybe someone from Montana could tell us if this is a hopeful appointment.

Because the old head of the agency was appointed by the right wing Governor July Martz, I’d speculate that this will be an improvement.

    I’ve been inquiring, but no one seems to know anything about him. Wonder if this will mean a shake-up in wildlife management? Bottom line…is he a servant of the livestock industry and will more or less wolves die?

    This does not belong here, but those of you in south eastern Idaho might be interested in taking part in this on the proposed dam on the Bear River at the Oneida Narrows.

  3. Thanks John

    I know the area, and took the survey. However, it has a defect, and it stopped at 67% completion.

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
