TIP-MONT Tip Of The Week

Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking information on three deer killed out of season in late March and left about 8 miles south of Whitehall, in the Bone Basin area of the Tobacco Root Mountains (hunting district 333). A white-tailed doe and fawn were shot just inside the Forest Service boundary and a mule-deer doe was shot on Bone Basin Road near the Kountz Ranch. Both does were carrying fawns that would have been born in a couple of months. FWP Warden Chad Murphy said, "Information provided by TIP-MONT callers can help us stop this blatant waste of wildlife." If you have information that might help solve this crime, please call 1-800-TIP-MONT (1-800-847-6668). For Montanans and visitors to the state, the TIP-MONT hotline is the first line of defense against fish and wildlife poaching and parks vandalism. The line is open 24 hours a day and callers can remain anonymous, do not have to testify in court and may receive a reward for a tip that helps to protect Montana’s valuable fish, wildlife and parks resources.
