H.R. 6788
Montana Sportsmen Conservation Act
Summary:
• The bill releases three Montana wilderness study areas—the Middle Fork Judith (81,000 acres), Hoodoo Mountain (11,380 acres), and Wales Creek (11,580 acres)—from their wilderness study area designations
• Following release, these areas would be managed under applicable land and resource management plans rather than wilderness study area restrictions
• Congress cites repeated agency findings that all three areas were determined unsuitable for wilderness designation, and argues release would improve sportsmen access, public access, and allow wildlife habitat and wildfire mitigation projects
