Montana's hunting season never really ends
A hunter recently reminded me of the remarkable number of hunting opportunities in Montana. As people debate wolves, discuss declining public access, and mourn the wildlife losses caused by last year’s severe winter, it’s easy to forget how good we still have it here—and that we need to work together to keep it that way.
It’s amazing how much there is to do in Montana with a bow, rifle, or shotgun in hand. A person could conceivably hunt during every month except July. The action began a few weeks ago on August 15, when the 900 series antelope archery season opened. While the rest of us were wearing shorts, T-shirts, and sandals, bowhunters who drew this either-sex license were in full camo crawling across sagebrush steppes searching for pronghorn.
