Montana Linked To Woman In Wyoming Hunting Violation Case

When people travel, some of them grab souvenirs. Samantha Strable ends up making international headlines and shares her gripes about wildlife. You may recognize her name: That’s the lady from Great Falls who grabbed a wombat in Australia earlier this year and sparked an internet storm. The story went everywhere. It had even boomeranged to Montana, where she once said she lived, in Great Falls. Now she has got the attention of people in Wyoming.

The New Trouble She Is Facing

Strable is facing charges of hunting violations in Wyoming, according to Cowboy State Daily. These are not minor cases of poor judgment. We are talking about licensing problems and allegations of hunting where she shouldn't. Wyoming doesn’t mess around with wildlife laws. Montana does not either. And that is why this one cuts deep. We already have enough out-of-state nonsense during hunting season. A Montana connection should be the last thing we add to the pile.

Why Montanans Care

Montana has its factions on hunting. But in general, we all agree on the fundamentals. Respect the land. Respect the animals. Buy your tags. Follow the rules. If you mess up, you own it. First, the wombat in Australia. Now this. At some point, it no longer seems like bad luck and starts to look like a pattern.

For all hunters out there.

Montana hunters work hard for our hunting seasons. We raise children to be rule followers. We can all agree that one bad hunter makes us all look bad. So, when a lady becomes internet famous for mistreating a wombat and is kicked out of a country. Then is charged with hunting violations some months later? She seems like a real winner.
