Nice weather limits hunting harvest in season opener in south central Montana
BILLINGS – Warm temperatures, light winds and plenty of sunshine made for comfortable out-door activities over the weekend in south central Montana, but they did not do much for hunting success during the general big game opener.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks biologists op-erated five check stations throughout the region Saturday and Sunday. All reported that hunters told them temperature in the 60s and 70s limited harvest opportunities.
Montana’s five-week general deer and elk season runs through Nov. 25.
Game wardens saw an uptick in illegally killed spike elk in hunting district 540 northwest of Harlowton, where regulations changed from last year. They reminded sportsmen to read the print-ed regulations for the areas where they are hunt-ing to check for changes from previous years.
Biologists reminded hunters that FWP continues to monitor eastern Carbon County for chronic wasting disease. Special transportation re-strictions apply to any deer, elk and moose har-vested in that area. Specifics about the disease, maps and restrictions are in the printed hunting regulations as well as on the FWP web-site, http://fwp.mt.gov.
Hunters are reminded that they must stop at any check station they pass while hunting, whether or not they have harvested game. Check stations primarily are intended for biologists to gather statistical information about animals and hunters.
