Predators and Nongame Hunting

Predators and nongame species areunprotected by federal and/or statelaw or regulation and can be hunted in

Montana year-round without a license byboth resident and nonresident hunters. Aconservation license, or a state schooltrust lands recreational use license isrequired to hunt predators and nongamespecies on state school trust lands.Permission must be obtained to huntpredators and nongame species onprivate land.

Predators are classified as coyote,weasel, (striped) skunk, and civet cat(spotted skunk).

Nongame species are defined asany wild animal not otherwise legallyclassified by statute or regulation in

Montana. Examples include badger,raccoon, red fox, hares, rabbits, groundsquirrels, marmots, tree squirrels,porcupine, and prairie dog.

Furbearers are protected gamespecies that may only be taken byresidents with a valid trapping licenseduring prescribed open seasons. Stateclassified furbearers include beaver,otter, muskrat, mink, marten, fisher,wolverine, bobcat, lynx, and swift fox.

Restitution for Illegally Taken WildlifeUnder Montana law, a person convicted,or who was charged and forfeitedbond or bail, of illegally killing, taking,or possessing game animals shallreimburse the state. The law sets theamount of restitution for a trophy animalunder Montana law as:

Bighorn Sheep $30,000

Elk $8,000

Antlered Deer $8,000Moose $6,000Mountain Goat $6,000Antelope $2,000

Grizzly Bear* $8,000

*no authorized hunting season

The law specifically outlines minimumstandards for a trophy under thisregulation, but authorizes the FWPCommission to adopt more specificcriteria.

For the purpose of assessing restitutionfor illegally taken trophy wildlifeunder Montana law, the following areconsidered trophy animals:

Ant elop e: With at least one horngreater than 14 inches in length, asmeasured along the outside curvefrom base to tip.

Elk: Must meet all three criteria:1) At least six points on one antler, 2)A main beam length on each antlerof at least 43 inches, and 3) Aninside spread of at least 36 inches.OR

Any elk with at least one six-pointantler and having a gross/greenBoone & Crockett score of 320 pointsor greater.

Mule Deer: Must meet all threecriteria:

1) At least four points on one antler(excluding brow tine), 2) A mainbeam length on each side of at least21 inches, and 3) A greatest insidespread across the main beams of atleast 20 inches.

OR

Any mule deer with at least one four-point antler and having a gross/greenBoone & Crockett score of 160 pointsor greater.

White-tailed Deer: Must meet allthree criteria:

1) At least four points on one antler(excluding brow tine), 2) A mainbeam length on each side of at least20 inches, and 3) A greatest insidespread across the main beams of atleast 16 inches.OR

Any white-tailed deer with at least onefour-point antler and having a gross/green Boone & Crockett score of 140points or greater.

A point as defined in these regulationsis at least four inches long for elk and atleast one inch long for deer, measuredfrom base to tip. Boone & Crockett (B&C)

measuring procedures or standardsare used for criteria measurement. Theofficial measurements for the purpose ofthis regulation are those that are takenat the time of confiscation or seizure ofthe trophy. Any B&C measurements willbe considered final when taken by anofficial B&C scorer, regardless of dryingtime. If the skullcap of antlers or hornsis broken in such a manner to render anofficial B&C score invalid, three officialB&C scorers will estimate a score. Thethree scores will be averaged and theaverage score used to determine trophystatus in accordance with Montana law.

Simulated WildlifeIt is illegal to discharge a firearm orother hunting implement at a simulatedwildlife decoy in violation of any statestatute, ARM or FWP Commission ruleregulating the hunting of the wildlife beingsimulated.

1. INSPECT: After leaving a lake or stream, inspect your boat, engine,trailer, anchor, waders, and other fishing and boating gear for mud, water,

and vegetation that could carry aquatic invasive species.

2. CLEAN: Completely remove all mud, water, and vegetation youfind. Boaters should use a pressurized power sprayer, found at most do-

it-yourself car washes. Te hot water helps kill organisms and the pres-

sure removes mud and vegetation. No need to use soap or chemicals.

3. DRY: Aquatic invaders can survive only in water and wet areas. Bydraining and drying your boat and fishing equipment thoroughly, you will

What Should I Know About Wolves in Montana?Gray Wolf Lis ting Status

For the latest information about wolves and their management, go to FWPs website at: http://fwp.mt.gov/wolf.

Wolves and Big Game

Wolves eat deer, elk, and other big game. In Montana, elknumbers in some areas have declined and so has hunteropportunity, due in part to wolf activity. Yet in other areas wherewolves and elk interact, elk numbers are stable or increasing.

When wolves are in an area, deer and elk use their habitatsdifferently, often seeking greater cover. Hunters may need toadjust their strategies.

FWP is increasing monitoring and research efforts to learn moreabout how wolves and big game interact in different places,

and what that means for hunters.Montana Wolf Basics

Pack territories can cover 200 square miles or more Packs range from two to 14 animals, averaging about 6

Wolves often travel separately or in smaller groups

Wolves travel widely throughout their territory in the fall Wolves travel on roads and trails regularly

Hunters Can Help FWP Monitor Wolves

Information provided by hunters will help in the managementand delisting of the wolf from the Endangered Species List.

Hunters must be able to tell the difference between a grizzlyand a black bear because grizzly bears cannot be legallyhunted in Montana.

Three simple rules will help you make the right decision:

1. Learn how to identify bears.2. Be absolutely sure of your target.3. If in doubt, dont shoot.

Carry Bear Pepper Spray andKnow How To Use It!

Hunting puts you at risk of encountering a bear. Calling game and usingscents may attract bears.

If you hunt alone, let someone know about your plans. If you feel uneasyhunting alone, hunt with a partner.

Pay attention to fresh bear sign. Communicate with others and let themknow when bears have been seen and/or fresh sign observed.

Some bears may move in the direction of a gunshot because they learnedto associate the sound with a gut pile or carcass.

The golden rule is get the game animal out of the area as quickly aspossible. The longer a carcass remains lying on the ground, hung up incamp, or stored in the back of a truck, the more likely it will be discoveredby a bear.

Carcasses left for a period of time require special care. Carry a colored,lightweight tarp or space blanket. Put the guts on the tarp and drag thema few hundred feet away from the carcass.

Locate an observation point 200 yards (if possible) away from the carcasswith a clear line of sight.

When returning, approach the observation point carefully. Yell or whistlerepeatedly. With binoculars study the scene from the observation point

and scan the area for the carcass and any movement. If a bear is at thesite and refuses to leave or the meat has been covered up with debris bya bear, report the incident to FWP.

Do not attempt to frighten away or haze a bear, especially a grizzly. Bears are opportunists and change their behavior to take advantage of new

food sources. Always assume that grizzlies are in the area and make sureyour camps, cabins, and homes are bear proof, and that bear attractantsare unavailable or contained.

Mentally rehearse a worst-case scenario with encountering a bear. If themind has never been there before, the body does not know how to respond.The following is a list of recommended responses to minimize the likelihoodof attack or chances of human injury: Make certain you have bear pepper spray at the ready and know howto use it. In sudden grizzly encounters, bear pepper spray has proveneffective. Bears sprayed in the face at close range often stop attacking.

Always maintain a safe distance from bears. Stay calm. Immediately pick up small children and stay in a group. Behave in a non-threatening manner. Speak softly. Do NOT make eye contact. Throw a backpack or other object (like a hat or gloves) on the ground asyou move away to distract the animals attention.

Slowly back away, if possible. Keep a distance of at least 100 yards. Do not run from a bear. Running may trigger a natural predator-preyattack response, and a grizzly can easily outrun the worlds fastest human.

Dont climb a tree unless you are sure you can get at least 10 from theground before the bear reaches you. Many experts recommend againstclimbing trees in most situations.

Report encounters with Grizzly Bears to FWP at 1-800-TIP-MONT, U.S.

Forest Service, or one of the nearest FWP bear management specialistslisted below: Mike Madel, Choteau, MT 406-466-5100 Tim Manley, Kalispell, MT 406-892-0802 Kevin Frey, Bozeman, MT 406-994-3553 James Jonkel, Missoula, MT 406-542-5508

In an actual emergency, phone 9-1-1. Seeing a grizzly is not necessarilya reportable encounter or an emergency. Report encounters where thebear displayed aggressive or defensive behavior toward people, livestockor pets.
