Final Moose, Sheep And Goat Quotas Set

Print

The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission set the final moose, sheep and goat quotas for the 2003 seasons, with few changes from the tentative quotas set in May.

Moose:    The FWP Commission approved the tentative moose quotas as final, including increases in antlerless moose permits in hunting districts 323-10 and 340-10.   The tentative proposal to reduce moose quotas in six FWP Region 3 hunting districts was also approved.   In a clarification, final quotas for hunting district 105-00 should read “20 either sex licenses” and for hunting district 122-00 it should read “6 either sex licenses.”

Bighorn Sheep:    The FWP Commission approved the tentative recommendations as final with two notable changes: an increase in hunting district 122-30 from two to eight ewe licenses and a decrease in hunting district 210-00 from 10 either sex licenses to four.   One clarification was made: the final quota for hunting district 124-00 is seven either sex bighorn sheep licenses.

The tentative mountain goat quotas were approved as final with no changes.
