From this week’s Hungry Horse News . . .
Hunters just might be able to use a spear next season if a law that makes them legal holds up. The Senate passed a bill by a 27-21 vote in January that would make a spear a legal weapon.
Senate Bill 112, sponsored by Sanders County Republican Greg Hinkle, is now being considered by the House. It’s just one of the many fish and game laws that are under consideration by the Legislature this year.
Gov. Brian Schweitzer has openly made fun of the bill and has promised he’ll veto it.
But spear chucking isn’t the only thing in lawmakers sights. They’d also like to nullify the Endangered Species Act. . .
