Moose hunting in southeastern Montana?
That may sound like the punch line for a off-beat joke, but Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is offering its first moose hunting permit for Region 7 this spring. The lone tag is being offered as the population of the largest member of the deer family has steadily grown in the region.
This seems at odds with what’s happening with the long-legged creatures in what is considered their native habitat, where populations have declined.
To learn more about the story, Brett French, outdoor editor at the Billings Gazette, is here to talk about the story he recently wrote.
