MONTANA HUNTER & BOWHUNTER EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS NEEDED IN REGION 6

b y Marc K l o ke r Volunteer instructors are being sought for the Hunter and Bowhunter Education programs in Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 6, which includes the counties of Hill, Blaine, Phillips, Valley, Daniels, McCone, Sheridan, and Roosevelt counties. In particular, more instructors are needed in the Culbertson, Bainville, Froid, Medicine Lake, and Plentywood areas.

Hunter and Bowhunter education are state mandated courses, which are taught by dedicated volunteers. Region 6 is in need of recruiting more of these dedicated men and women to continue to serve the Region 6 area. Anyone who is at least twelve-years old is eligible to apply.

The heart of Montana’s Hunter and Bowhunter Education programs is the group of dedicated volunteer instructors. They stand as examples of how each hunter should demonstrate safety, ethics, behavior, and responsibility to not only themselves, but also to landowners, other hunters, and the resource.

These instructors choose to honor Montana’s hunting heritage and “Pass it On!” by sharing their skills, experiences and their love of hunting and Montana’s vast resources with those new to hunting and outdoor adventure.

If you are interested in the future of hunting, in improving sportsmanship and safety in the field, or teaching an appreciation for the vast hunting resources in Montana, then we need you to join us and “Pass it On!” For information on becoming a Hunter or Bowhunter education instructor, please call Marc Kloker, Region 6 Information and Education Program Manager, at 406-228-3704, or visit the FWP web site at fwp.mt.gov/education/hunter/ instructors/ to learn more and apply.

Ramblings of a Conservative

Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58

Crazy Horse The action ceased prior to my arrival, but the injuries of the participants indicated I had missed a real rodeo. Ricky walked upright, but his right hand was in an ice-filled bag, bound by an ace bandage and duct tape. Rick walked bent like a comma, but then he always did, so it wasn’t until he rolled up his shirt sleeve that I saw the hide missing from his right elbow. ere is the scene.

Ricky owns a cow pony who is a little sensitive about having his rear hooves trimmed and when he isn’t leaning on you he is cowkicking. After do ens of unsuccessful nipping attempts, a hobble was buckled below the horse’s fetlock to pull his foot off the ground.

This three-legged stance sent the pony into a full blown panic and he wildly tried to kick himself free from the hobble. The more he

kicked, the more the loose end of the chain and leather hobble thrashed his other legs. Fences and gates were no match for this horse trying to escape what felt like a badger chewing on his fetlock and the action exploded from the corral, down the driveway and back to the corral.

When I arrived, the horse was securely tied to a post and was dripping with sweat. I slowly slipped an 18 gauge needle into his jugular vein so as to administer a powerful tranquili er. We waited nothing happened. This horse was panicked beyond the magic of conventional chemistry.

I injected a second anesthetic drug, stepped back and waited and waited. Finally, the old boy gave up the fight and crashed to the dirt.

We quickly removed the offending hobble and then waited for him to recover. Ricky explained

how this cow pony is the best in his string and there isn’t anything a cowboy can’t do when mounted astride this 18-year-old gelding. I took his word for it because minutes earlier this horse more resembled an athletic out of control maniac than a cow pony. opefully, one’s true value is more than you see on the surface and this brings me to my point.

Trump supporters trumpet all the wonderful things he will do as president, but his disregard for both the Constitution and Christian principles concerns me. At his core, he is a businessman who succeeds by cutting deals; the exact political manipulation destroying America. owever, facing the choice between Mr. Trump and a known Marxist, I will give the Donald a chance. ike Ricky’s horse, I’ll trust he proves better than he looks.

DAVE SAYS: Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

DEAR DAVE,

I’ve had a judgment led against me for an old, unpaid medical bill. The original amount was 2,500, but now it has increased to 3,200. Can I negotiate this with the lawyer I’ve asked him for a detailed statement of the account several times, but all I’ve gotten is a payment booklet. ~Bill Dear Bill, When it comes to paying o bills or debt, you should always pay what’s owed if you have the money. There’s a moral, as well as legal, responsibility involved. That being said, if you don’t have 3,200, o er him whatever you’ve got 2,000 or the original 2,500 as a settlement. Make sure he understands that you’re not o ering to pay the amount you have on the debt, but that it’s being o ered as settlement in full if the debt is cleared.

The reason you haven’t gotten what you’ve asked for so far is you may have been talking to some low-level sta er or paralegal.

If you have been talking directly to the lawyer, then he’s probably running a small debt collections or debt lawsuit machine. That means you’re just one of do ens of widgets coming down the line. To you, this is very personal. But to him, you’re just another account. ou might have to do something to get his attention and wake him up.

If this is the case, he probably gets a piece of whatever he collects. So, if he gets a third of 2,000 or 2,500 it might make his house payment this month. ou could also talk to the hospital administrator, too, and let them know you’ll bring a couple thousand down there today if they’ll accept it as payment in full. At this point, you’ve just got to do something to get o the conveyor belt ~Dave DEAR DAVE, Are annuities good for long-term retirement ~Quincy Dear uincy, The short answer is no. There might be a rare exception when I’d use a variable annuity which is a mutual fund inside of an annuity but as a rule I don’t use annuities. And I certainly don’t use xed annuities for anything, because they’re just crap. Basically, they’re a CD with a huge set of fees. It’s just an insurance agent’s product, really.

The place for variable annuities might be when you’ve got everything else maxed out and your house is paid o . If you’ve reached that point, you can talk to your advisor about some of the possible bene ts of a variable annuity. ou can leave a bene ciary on it, so that it passes outside of probate, and you’ve got some principle guarantees and return guarantees that are decent. The returns are a little lower, though, because you’ll get hit with both the annuity fee and the mutual fund fee.

So, by and large the answer is no for most people, because they don’t have their house paid o and aren’t maxing out all other retirement options. If you’re doing all that, and you want to do something in this area, then I might think about it.. ~Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business and CEO of Ramsey Solutions.

48,000-acre PN Ranch just north of Winifred, MT to add to its expansion of land along the Missouri River in hopes that bison and other wildlife can freely traverse and graze the open prairies once again. Supporters of this act are hoping to open up this land as a public park where visitors can experience how the West once was, eliminating all cattle, fences, power lines, and “ Keep Out” signs.

American Prairie Reserve has established 353,000 acres across five counties since the year of 2001. This causes much tension with many Central Montana residents who see this organization quickly taking over their land, eventually putting them out of business and putting an end to their way of life.
