  • Wildlife data must be protected

    Updated Apr 30, 2019

    Montana has for decades been at the forefront of wildlife conservation among states in the West. We have the best hunting and angling in the country, and Montana has long set the standard in hunting ethics. As Montanans we value fair chase as an essential part of our sporting heritage, and that’s why we banned game farms nearly two decades ago. We also have many laws and regulations on the books to ensure that fair chase hunting persists. Put simply, fair chase means the animal has a reasonable chance to get away. But one a...

First, it was a goal of ours to keep taxes low and we were successful in stopping over a...

As everyone was trying to figure out how that all would work, a substitute motion was made to “sine die,” and with that came a quick end to the session. Now, we wait to see what bills the governor is willing to sign. I am happy to say there is money coming to this area for drinking water proje...

Still, men's league at Prairie Farms Golf Course and Beaver Creek Golf Course did get started on time last week, as all leagues got out in front of the nasty storm that drilled us on...
