Likes Smith view on land/water access

Editor,

As a hunter and fisherman, one of the most important issues to me is access to public lands and waters. Getting into the outdoors and spending time with friends and family is part of our heritage in Montana.

Ric Smith is running for State Senate, District 5, and can be fully trusted to protect our Montana heritage. He has a 25-year proven track record of public service, and has devoted much of that time working on issues for sportsmen.

Ric has also pledged to work on legislation to ensure more guarantees to access public lands and streams. I trust him to lead this fight because Ric is one of us: a father and an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. He knows what it is like to have a favorite public access road closed.

Ric will stand up for folks who want to use the outdoors. He has my full support.
