A wind-driven wildland fire that erupted off of Madison Road on August 21, 2024, has been successfully contained thanks to the coordinated efforts of multiple fire agencies and resources.

For the second time in as many months, a state district court judge has sided with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and hunting groups in a lawsuit over elk management. The dispute relates to a 2003 law directing Fish, Wildlife and Parks to manage elk “at or below” the sustainable populations established in the state’s elk management plan. Two years ago, the United Property Owners of Montana, a membership-based nonprofit that promotes its members’ business interests, sued FWP, arguing that swelling elk populations have damaged its members...

Recent cooler temperatures allowed hoot-owl fishing restrictions to be lifted August 24 on the entire Smith River and Jefferson River and on the Madison River from Ennis Dam to the NorthWestern Energy powerhouse. The restrictions were put in place earlier this summer. Hoot-owl restrictions are designed to protect fish that become more susceptible to disease and mortality when low flows and high-water temperatures combine with other stressors, including catch-and-release fishing. Anglers can reduce stress on fish at all times of the year by...

Montana hunters were recently notified if they successfully drew an antelope license for the upcoming season. The number of licenses drawn in each hunting district were based on recommendations Fish, Wildlife & Parks' biologists made after they completed aerial surveys of antelope herds during the last few weeks.
