Montana FWP

This story is guaranteed to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is telling county commissioners that Lake Elmo in Billings needs to be drained following the discovery of an invasive species known as asian clams.

Is it just me, or does it seem like we have been seeing way too many incidents of poaching, and wildlife simply left to waste? Or, are we just noticing these stories more often?

FWP, in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, captured the bears in the Whitefish Range.

FWP bear management specialist, Jamie Jonkel, said the bear was exhibiting extreme food-conditioned behavior.

Anyone who may have information on this incident are being asked to call Montana’s toll-free hotline for reporting poaching, 1-800-TIP-MONT (847-6668).

The bear was said to be terrified of people during the operation, and at one point tried to escape the wrong way, running toward the trees of town.
