More frequent wildfires in the West can turn hiking through beautiful, high-elevation country into a dangerous game for hikers. In July, seven friends from Idaho, Colorado, Washington and Montana took off for a week of backpacking in southwestern Montana. Everything went off without a hitch their first night. A rainstorm passed through but it wasn't a big deal. But when they woke up, they saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Darren Wilson had anticipated something like this, even before the...
As you drive over bridges this time of year, take a moment to look down at the streams and rivers and appreciate just how much water is flowing down there. I know: Late summer is when water levels in streams and rivers are at their lowest. By now, crops have been irrigated for several months, snowpack is gone, and it seems like a long time since we last saw a decent rain. But Montana’s water flows could be a lot worse. Here at FWP, we talk a lot about the contributions that agriculture makes to wildlife habitat—rotational grazing that kee...
A state district court judge has issued a final order in a dispute over Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks' approach to elk management. Tenth Judicial District Court Judge Gregory Todd ruled Friday that FWP and the Fish and Wildlife Commission have considered the concerns of private landowners and managed for a sustainable elk population.

The Montana Supreme Court has overturned a lower court order temporarily suspending two pro-construction housing laws passed by the 2023 Montana Legislature, ruling last week that the laws can take effect as a challenge brought by a Bozeman-based homeowners coalition is litigated. The homeowners, organized as Montanans Against Irresponsible Densification, or MAID, challenged the bills and two other housing measures last year, arguing the Legislature's efforts to promote infill development by...

Joining Montana Department of Labor & Industry (DLI) Commissioner Sarah Swanson, Governor Greg Gianforte last week highlighted new data showing the strength of Montana's economy.

"As evidenced in the pages of this report, Montanans are better equipped to handle still-high inflation thanks to our steady job and wage...

Grassy, sagebrushy and only occasionally interrupted by sandstone buttes or clumps of pine trees, southeastern Montana has long drawn mule deer hunters from across the state and region. As recently as 2017, Hunters have harvested more than 17,000 mule deer from this region per year, filling their freezers with venison and adding to the tills of local businesses that guide, feed and lodge them. These days, though, it's almost easier to find elk on public land than it is to spot a mule deer in...
