Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) will hold public meetings throughout the state in January to provide information, answer questions and gather input on the tentative 2018-2019 hunting regulation proposals adopted by the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission earlier this month.
In west-central Montana’s Region 2, FWP will host 12 meetings. The meeting in Missoula is at the Doubletree Hotel, 100 Madison St, at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 4. The meeting in Seeley Lake is Jan. 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Seeley Lake Community Hall.
Hunting regulations are adopted biennially for most game species. The proposed regulations include statewide and local regulations for deer, elk, antelope, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, bison, black bear, mountain lion, wolf, turkey, upland and migratory birds.
