FWP looking for information on deer poached in Upper Rock Creek Area
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is seeking information on a white-tailed deer that was poached earlier this week in the upper Rock Creek area east of Missoula.
The whitetail buck was likely shot sometime early on Tuesday, Dec. 17 and found between Rock Creek Road and US Forest Service Grizzly Campground in the Ranch Creek area. Only the antlers were taken and the rest left to waste. FWP game wardens say that wildlife crimes like this one are often solved because of leads provided by the public.
Anyone with information regarding the poaching is encouraged to contact FWP at 1-800-TIP-MONT (1-800-847-6668). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to a conviction.
Weather Data Class at Swan Valley Library, Jan. 8
Swan Valley - Weather Data recording and a way to preserve that data by entering it on a website, CoCoRaHS.org, is the topic of a class being offered at the Swan Valley Library Wednesday, Jan. 8 at 1 p.m.
Swan Valley resident Kathy Martin will share about the volunteer network of local weather observers from every walk of life. Volunteers use low-cost measurement tools to record rain, hail, snow and temperature in their local communities. The goal of the endeavor is to supply high quality data for resource, educational and research purposes.
All that is needed is an interest in recording weather condition and an interest in how weather influences everyone everywhere.
Sign up at the Swan Valley Library or call the library at 754-2521. For more information call Martin at 406-253-5027.
The library is open Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
