Montana Sportsmen Conservation Act

This bill removes wilderness study area designations from three specific Montana public lands: the 81,000-acre Middle Fork Judith area (managed by the Forest Service), and the 11,380-acre Hoodoo Mountain and 11,580-acre Wales Creek areas (managed by the Bureau of Land Management). These lands were previously evaluated and determined unsuitable for wilderness designation under federal law. The bill directs land managers to instead implement existing management plans developed through collaborative processes, which allow for activities like improved public access, wildlife habitat projects, and sportsmen opportunities. This change affects over 104,000 acres of public land in Montana that had remained under wilderness study status despite being deemed unsuitable for wilderness management.
