A disgruntled hunter wrote a Writers on the Range opinion recently about Westerners getting fed up with the many out-of-staters coming in and buying up draw licenses to shoot bull elk, deer, bear, and other big game animals.

Many Montanans have heard about Energy Share of Montana, but may not realize exactly what it does.
