Ridin for the Brand on PBS, the real deal

Another dandy on PBS, Ridin for the Brand, made its Montana PBS debut last night. Ten years in the making, Ridin for the Brand, by Stephanie Alton, has earned its place amongst the most compelling, important, and gorgeous documentaries about ranching in Montana. Over the past few generations, an ever-changing and growing America has presented new and challenging environmental and economic issues. Ridin for the Brand explores the hardships and the joys of traditional ranching life in Montana and explores looming concerns and issues that may impact our future as consumers. As author Jim Harrison (Legends of the Fall) says, Its the best film Ive ever seen on the new West which in terms of ranchers and cowboys is the same as it ever was. The film is utterly

genuine. Ridin for the Brand is a Montana story that journals a year in the life and times of three old-time Montana ranching families. Originally coming to the Big Timber area during the early Texas cattle drives over a century ago, these families are struggling to maintain the only life they know and love. These ranchers share how global markets, government policies, slaughterhouse and meatpacking monopolies and urban sprawl are forever changing their livelihoods and landscapes. Altons film gives a glimpse into the world of ranching and livestock, and the interesting stories and way of life of the people who are so connected to us, as consumers, through their hard work, care, and hours devoted to the animals that eventually reach our plates. Ridin for the Brand is so much more than a story about ranches of the West; it is a story of the dedication and steadfastness of the people of this land and their ranches. And it is also a story of the conscious changes people are making in their food choices and agricultural practices. Ridin for the Brand airs again on Wednesday, April 30th at 2:00 a.m. (or consider it as airing on late night TV tonight you may want to record it for watching at a better time).

Letter to the Buzz

Delisting doesnt include eastern MT
The issue of delisting grizzly bears in Montana has periodically been in the news over the last couple of decades. Every time the population goals were reached nongovernment organizations (NGOs) sued and the bar was raised. Apparently, delisting may finally be getting close to becoming a reality. If you are like me, you have been following this convoluted circus with a detached relief that it doesnt concern us in eastern Montana. Wrong! Allen Schallenbergers article in the March 20, 2014 issue of Western Ag Reporter was a wakeup call. Allen discussed the Southwest Montana Grizzly Bear Plan recently finalized by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP). The plan outlines the areas FWP will recommend to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to delist the grizzly bear. It does not include eastern Montana. I wrote to FWP Director Jeff Hagener for clarification. He responded that since grizzly bears are an endangered species, the authority and decision to delist the bears lies solely with USFWS. He further noted, designation of distinct population segments and boundaries of DPS are ultimately the decision and authority of the USFWS, not FWP, as they are charged with implementing the Endangered Species Act. Apparently, the distinct population segment (DPS) boundary only encloses the area where the grizzly population is considered recovered. Since there are currently no grizzlies in eastern Montana, we are not being considered for delisting. Does this mean there are plans to recover them in eastern Montana? Grizzly bears have been extending their range eastward recently and the trend will probably continue. In addition, what is to stop FWP from taking problem bears from the mountains and dumping them on the CMR NWR along the Missouri River? It can probably safely be said the majority of eastern Montana residents do not want grizzly bears in their back yards. Other states (e.g. WY, NV, ID) are starting to stand up to the USFWS and taking back management of their resident wildlife. What is wrong with Montana? It is time our state wildlife agency (FWP) got some collective backbone and stood up for its citizens against the USFWS and the NGOs and insist grizzlies be delisted in all of Montana. continued on back page

A lawyer was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, Youre beautiful! and then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side. A couple of minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, Youre cute! Well, the wife was disapointed because instead of beautiful, it was cute. She asked, What happened to beautiful? His reply was, The drugs are starting to wear off!

Delisting continued The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is broken! A major problem is that Washington bureaucrats and NGOs far removed from the on-the-ground issues are making stupid decisions and imposing actions that are harmful and, in many cases, disastrous to both the citizens and the resident wildlife. The examples are legion that USFWS is not capable of managing resident wildlife. The solution is simple. Go back to the successful program that was in place prior to enactment of the ESA. It is time the State Governments in the western States took a stand and said, enough is enough and took back the management of resident wildlife species from the Washington bureaucrats! Each state would be responsible for the wildlife species within their boundaries and the feds role would be to assist with information and resources. This would not mean the demise of the grizzly. It would mean management decisions would be made on a local level. In practice, if a bear was accidentally killed or killed protecting life and/or property you would not have to deal with the wrath of the ESA. Instead, state statues would determine any penalties. In other words, the people of Montana would have a major say in the management of this dangerous predator. In closing, the grizzly bear population in Montana has increased and is thriving to the point it is no longer under a threat of becoming extinct in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it no longer meets the requirements to be listed under the ESA and should be delisted in all of Montana. The citizens and the wildlife populations of Montana would benefit from this delisting. The only ones that would suffer would be the NGOs that would lose their access to their cash cow, the Equal Access to Justice Act payments. ~ Ron Stoneberg, Hinsdale
