Republican Rep. Paul Fielder of Thompson Falls, sponsor of HB 367, introduces the proposed legislation during during a House Judiciary Committee on March 12, 2021.
Montana legislators heard testimony Friday on a bill that, if passed, would ask voters to amend language in the state constitution related to harvesting and managing wildlife.
House Bill 367 proposes to change the state constitution’s language to explicitly say Montanans have the right to hunt, fish, trap and harvest fish and wildlife with current methods. Currently, the constitution says the opportunity for citizens to harvest fish and wild game will forever be preserved.
Republican Rep. Paul Fielder of Thompson Falls introduced his bill during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Friday.
Montana voters could be asked to enshrine in the state constitution hunting, fishing and trapping as the traditional and preferred methods of fish and wildlife management under a bill brought by a Thompson Falls lawmaker.
During a hearing marked by a number of contentious exchanges between Republicans and an opponent of trapping, the House Judiciary Committee heard House Bill 367 brought by Republican Rep. Paul Fielder. If the bill receives support from two-thirds of the Legislature, voters in 2022 would be asked whether to amend a section of the Montana Constitution called the âHarvest Heritageâ clause.
As currently written, the clause says, âThe opportunity to harvest wild fish and wild game animals is a heritage that shall forever be preserved to the individual citizens of the state and does not create a right to trespass on private property or diminution of other private rights.â

A slate of bills making their way through Montana’s legislative session indicate a potential sea change in how the Treasure State will manage big carnivores and who gets a say in making those decisions.
Nicky Ouellet: Rachel, we’re halfway through Montana’s legislative session. Can you bring us up to speed on several bills that made it through the transmittal deadline that take aim at reducing the wolf population in Montana?
Rachel Cramer: Earlier this month, Montana’s Senate passed Senate Bill 314 from Sen. Bob Brown, a Republican from Thompson Falls, which would allow hunters and trappers to kill unlimited numbers of wolves on a single license. For context, the bag limit right now is five wolves per season whether someone has a trapping license, hunting license or both.
