The administration of the license section was transferred to the law enforcement division and an all out effort was made by all enforcement personnel to see that the new license structure func- tioned properly. A courtesy citation was introduced during the summer of 1969 in an effort to improve the overall wildlife enforcement program. This period also saw additional warden time spent enforcing the provisions of the litter law on private property open to recrea- tionists and enforcement of state recreation area regulations.

The division is to be concerned with the environmental aspects of the fish and wildlife program. Fish and Game Commission '.tiinutes state, "This division would assume the authority for special planning projects such as the Smith River, pollution, the administration of the stream preservation law, review of water projects within the state, pesticides, and other environmental problems as they arise." 5. .•'ISHERIES MANAGEMENT The loss of fish habitat through stream alteration, competition for water, siltation and other forms of pollu- tion still remains the major concern of fisheries biologists. Research dividends were realized on the Madison River where survival of wild trout was improved because of better water flows in the river. The improved flows were due to regulated releases of water from Hebgen Reservoir by the Montana Power Company. Tagging programs have disclosed that paddlefish which provide good fishing at Intake on the Yellowstone, are migrants from Garrison Reservoir in North Dakota. Tagged fish were also recovered from dredge cuts in the Missouri below Fort Peck Reservoir. Regulations were established in 1970 which allowed winter spearfishing for pike, walleye, sauger and rough fish in some areas. Spearing proved to be very popular with Montanans . Research on Flathead Lake showed that annual fluctua- tions of climate and, in turn, water temperatures have a considerable effect on the patterns of kokanee distribution. This knowledge can increase the success of sports fishermen. A book describing Montana fishes, which has been in production stages for several years, was submitted to printers and should soon be available to the public. This very complete description of Montana fishes involves 52 native species and 28 introduced species. It is a cooperative project of Dr. C. J. D. Brown, M.S.U., the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Montana Fish and Game Department. HATCHERY SYSTEM During the biennitim state fish hatcheries have continued to work toward the improvement of brood stock held at the various stations so that quality fishing will result from fish planted in state waters. The rainbow trout brood at the Arlee hatchery represent approximately 18 years of selective breeding for such qualities as good growth rate, survival, good coloration and body form and resistance to disease. Over the years, spawning periods have been adjusted so that eggs will be available to provide the proper size fish for stocking at the proper time. More recent stocks of wests lope cutthroat are developing well after several years of investigations into finding a pure strain of this important species. Because many states have had serious problems with fish disease in their hatcheries, Montana has taken all precautions to keep our stations disease free. Actually, relatively few fish eggs are imported into state fish hatcheries and those that are must be inspected and certified free of infection at the point of shipment. The Department has purchased an artesian well site near Creston, Montana and development there will progress as funds are available. Negotiations are continuing with the Corps of Engineers relative to the location of a hatchery to be provided by the Corps in mitigation for fishery losses due to the construction of the Libby Dam. 7.

GAME MANAGEMENT Big Game Numbers of hunters indicated by questionnaires shows a general increase in elk hunters from 1963 to 1969 (66,622 to 73,848 respectively) and a slight increase in deer hunters (124,831 in 1963 and 128,177 in 1969). Numbers of moose, sheep and goat hunters have remained about constant for the years 1967 through 1969. In the case of antelope hunters, there was an increase from 1968 to 1969. The number of hunters pursuing the latter four species are governed by the number of permits available. Population densities and reproductive indices of those big game species regulate permit numbers. Because weather and big game distributions affect individual hunting seasons, harvest figures must be viewed over several years to show meaningful trends. Big game populations in the state are still being maintained at levels which provide some of the finest hunt- ing anywhere while insuring perpetuation of the various species, This is being done in the face of ever increasing demands both by hunters for the animals and by other interests for their habitat. Upland Game Birds Harvest of game birds over the past few years reflects the normal population fluctuation of the species. Total birds harvested in 1969 increased from that of 1968 by some 70,000. 12. Birds are very sensitive to clianges in habitat conditions, including weather, and their response to such changes is often manifest in drastic fluctuations of population levels. Such fluctuations affect the size of the harvest. In general, Montana's upland birds are underharvested. Again populations are presently being maintained at substantial levels although the trend of decreasing habitat may preclude maintaining them at those levels in the future. Via ter fowl The number of waterfowl available during the fall in che state is almost solely dependent on weather conditions commensurate with habitat conditions. In 1959 the duck harvest was approximately the same as 1958 which was in excess of 23,000. The 1969 goose harvest of 12,000 exceeded that of 1958 by about 4,000 birds. Game Management Problems The demand for more outdoor recreation and increasing development of all natural resources produces a situation of supplying more game with less habitat. This is a biological impossibility. At the least, a compromise is feasible only if rigid and strict planning incorporates the needs of wild- life. 13. BEARTOOTH GAME RANGE The Beartooth Game Range, Montana's newest public-owned winter game range, was bought by the Fish and Game Commission June 8, 1970. The 27,000 acre area was purchased primarily as an elk winter range, but it has tremendous possibilities for other forms of recreation. Holter Lake lies along one edge. The Gates of the Mountains joins the range on the southern boundary and guarantees a per- manent buffer against encroachment by structures or roads. Elk, deer and mountain goats inhabit the area. With proper management and developments, the Beartooth Range will undoubtedly prove to be one of the state's finest recreational investments. 14. r- in 1^ fO in rH O (Ti rf >^ O rH O O rH IX) O CM r^ o ^ o o r~- n (N in rH O O ^ kD 0^ in (N CO (N in CM r- o o t^ 00 o (N n C -H t3 e r^ 00 o vD O ro 00 ^ (Ti CM ro '^ og ro ro in 00 00 CN r^ o ro IX) -H rq r^ CO '^ X) 00 X) in rH CO in vo i^ n in CO X) CN a> o ro in 0^ r^ ro o in CTi O O .H 00 in o r- in .-H in ro r-l ro n r- r-~ -^ r~- X) 00 in r-t r- CM .H (N (N M ro CN n in CO r~- CM r-t ^ O O 't X) o in o O 0^ ^ CN ro vD rH kO (^ CTi ro CTi ^ CO (N O O -H rH .H ro in n CN in C3^ ro o O CN rH ,H rH iX) ro >X) CO CN O CO ^ o X) M CO CO (N r-l CN ro CN n CN CN ■H 0 ^ (U CO -U o r-~ CM en CN rH in CTi >;}• CN •^ X) o en r~ n ro ■=* rn in CN ix) en in cTi 00 in CM ■^ ^ ^ CN in cr. •>* o r-H 00 en in CO in CM X) CO ro '^ o en X5 '^t* o in CM r- r- r- '^ (^ in CN X) n (^ in rH CO CO r- CN r~ in CO rf K£> r-\ m r^ r~- r- o X) ^ i^ (7> (r> ix) CO X) n X) 00 IX) '^ X) >J3 O '^ ro >X) -H r-- o vD in r- iX) CO O 1— I nH n 1^ n iX) •=* iX) in r~- iH CO »* in r- X) X) '* (J> vD CTi CN '^ CO 00 O CT^ rH 00 '^ c^ n iH in t^ in r- o CO ^ H U XI rn CT^ ro 00 --i <-^ n-{ in •-{ « - - « V . ... - . 0) "^t (T> n (^ a> o VD CO o in CO rH in CTi CTi 00 CN r- < Q CN iH rH O o en O CT. ^ rH 00 in CN CT> in CN O X3 E-i '"' '"' rH rH ■"^ rH rH •H <-{ •-i <-\ ,-i ^ rH 2 CN o r^ ^ r^ O o r-- 00 ro o m CO ro O rH CN n O rH '^ 00 O X5 'X) CN in rH O '^ CM in in rH rH O CN o 00 O rsl CO CN O CN CM •^ O rH 00 X ^ <=> cr> CN n X) rH '* in 00 in CO X) r-- m 00 -H a^ rH . . « « « . . . . > >, « ^ ^ - « « •.

WII jLIFE rabies - 1969-1970 RABIES IN MONTANA During the past two years, there were five cases of skunk rabies, four cases of bat rabies, and one case of rabies in a domestic cat. Skunk rabies was still active in the northeastern corner of the state, with Daniels and Roosevelt Counties reporting the five skunk rabies cases in 1959, and no cases were reported during 1970, Bat rabies cases were reported from Sheridan, Missoula, Lake, and Ravalli Counties. It is interesting to note three of the bats were diagnosed at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Hamilton, Montana, One specimen in particular was collected September 20, 1968 and was retained alive at the laboratory and developed the disease some eight months later, on April 16, 1969. The cat was a domestic pet at a residence, Opheim Air Force Station, Valley County. Many children and adults were exposed and were required to take the anti-rabies immunization treatment. During 1970, only the two cases of rabies were reported - the least since 1964 when the epizootic started. Rabies in wildlife species continued to spread and increase in neighboring states and provinces. North Dakota reported a total of seventy-nine cases, with forty-seven cases in skunks, one fox, two raccoons, one dog twelve cats, and fifteen cattle. South Dakota reported fifty-three cases, with twenty-eight skunks, two raccoons, one bat, five dogs, eight cats, and nine cattle. 16. Wyoming had fifty-six cases, with fifty-four cases in skunks, one in a cat, and one in cattle. Rabies continued to be epizootic in Saskatchewan and was diagnosed in Alberta during 1970. Wildlife rabies was anticipated along the eastern border of the province in skunks; however, this did not occur. In November, 1970, a positive coyote was diagnosed in the southeastern corner of the province. Within a space of four weeks, a bull was diagnosed as rabies positive at Medicine Hat, and in Central Alberta (Penhold and Red Deer) , a heifer, two coyotes, a cat, and a pig near Vermilion were diagnosed as rabies positive. Eighteen abnormal or sick coyotes have been diagnosed and three were rabid. Two dogs were rabies positive at Edmonton, but both had histories of exposure in Saskatchewan. Although rabies has declines in Montana during the past year, we can anticipate this disease to reoccur in wildlife populations. 17, h . te Spec rwarded ag.

The "Montana Outdoors" employs four color process and will go on an paid subscription basis. Several other publications were prepared for public distribution, including magazines on Montana Amphibians, Turtles of Montana, Tularemia of Animals and People, and several minor publications. Films continued to be produced at the Division's Film Center. One of the films, "Winter Range" was awarded second place in national competition for the Outdoor Writers Associa- tion film contest. 20, RECFi^ATION AND PARKS DIVISION The Recreation and Parks Division of the Montana Fish a.id Game Department administers 156 areas for public outdoor recreation and more are needed to adequately serve the needs of residents and visitors from other states. The opportunity for achieving excellence in outdoor recreation exists in Montana. The opportunity is enhanced by several factors including the absence of a high population density, a relatively stable total population, geographic isolation, an overall physical environment which has not yet been irreparably damaged, and the fact that a relatively large proportion of the state's population is interested in outdoor recreation activities of one form or another. Throughout the current decade of the 1970' s and beyond, forces which destroy or detract from the natural physical environment can be expected to continue. However, there are signs of a growing awareness of damage to the ecosystem in which we live and the social problems thereby created. Con- tinuing environmental education should lead toward developing a sense of personal involvement and stewardship among Montanans, Long-range, comprehensive recreation planning is a basic prerequisite for both maintaining environmental quality and quality in recreational activities. 21. ACQUISITION OF LANDS FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION During the period from July 1, 1958, to June 30, 1970, recreation lands were acquired at twenty-one (21) separate areas. Acquisition methods include purchase, lease, dona- tions and transfers from other governmental agencies at nominal or no cost. In addition, a major acquisition was accomplished in August of 1970 when 1,070 acres were acquired on Belt Creek which will provide necessary access to about five miles of that stream. Another major acquisition not included is the Beartooth Ranch. The primary purpose of this area is for game manage- ment but the recreation potential of the Holter Lake frontage is tremendous. MISSOURI RIVER CANYON RECREATION ROAD A highlight of 1970 was the development of what is proba- bly the first "Recreational Road Complex" in the United States. This unique and very popular recreational complex takes ad- vantage of a road that was once a main thoroughfare but has now been replaced by an interstate highway. The abandoned road provides frontage to a very scenic part of the upper Missouri River. Access to the river itself is provided by three boat ramps. Rest and picnic spots with sanitary facilities are developed at strategic spots. This recreational road complex involves about thirty-six miles of the Missouri. The river boasts good fishing for trout and other game species. 22. OUTDOOR RECREATION SITES ACQUIRED BY FISH AND GAME COMMISSION July 1, 1968 to June 30, 1969 FAS = Fishing Access Site SRA = State Recreation Area Comments Baker - Baker Pond, FAS, (Fallon Cc.) 10 acres. Bannack - Bannack State Monument, (Beaverhead Co.) 7 lots. A few lots have been obtained at Bannack. It is hoped that additional parcels can be acquired in the old townsite and it can be preserved as Montana's first territorial capital. Bigfork - Wayfarer, SRA, (Flathead Co.) 62.42 acres. Following acquisition under the Long Range Building Program the Highway Department granted additional adjacent land includ- ' ing a highway recreation area. Development is planned for the 1971-72 fiscal year. Big Hole River - Fish Trap Creek, FAS, (Deer Lodge Co.) 50 acres, This area, scheduled for development in the 1971-72 fiscal year, will provide additional recreation facilities and pub- lic access to one of Montana's most popular fishing streams. Bighorn River - Bighorn, FAS, (Big Horn Co.) 90.44 acres Trjo Leggins. FAS, 30.21 acres. The recently completed Yellowtail Dam has reduced siltation and water temperatures in the Big Horn River. This has resulted in a revitalized trout stream and we have taken steps to make it available to the public. Boyd - Cooney Reservoir, SRA, (Carbon Co.) 1,000.00 acres. The State Water Resources Board leased this land to the Fish and Game Commission for $500.00 per year. Contracts for construction of the recreation facilities will be let in the 1970-71 fiscal year. Dailey Lake - Daily Lake, FAS, (Park Co.) 122,57 acres. The State Land Board set this area aside for recreation develop- ment. This is an example of two state agencies cooperating to add to the public's opportunity to enjoy outdoor recrea- tion . Elmo - Elmo State Recreation Area (Lake Co.) 4.59 acres. This tract is in addition to other lands previously granted by the Land Board. The recreation facilities are under con- struction. Glen Lake - Glen Lake, FAS, (Lincoln Co.) 1.40 acres. In this case the county commissioners dedicated their land for public recreational use. Development was recently completed. 23. Helena, Cascade, Missouri River, Wolf Creek - Canyon Recreation Road (Lewis & Clark - Cascade Co.) 27.73 acres. The sites coinprisin'-/ this area were obtained by a combination of purchases, leases and agreement with the Highway Department. Development of this area which is nearly complete represents Montana's first Recreation Road and has attracted national attention. Holter Lake - Holter Lake, FAS, (Lewis & Clark Co.) 3 acres. The Montana Power Company leased this site for recreation development at a nominal fee. Intake Dam - Intake Dam, FAS, (Dawson Co.) 40 acres. This is an example of cooperation between county, state and federal government. The county cominission, the Fish and Game Commission and the Bureau of Reclamation are working together to develop facilities for the public at a site that is a popular location for fishing, including the snagging of paddle- fish. Madison River - Raynold's Pass, FAS, (Madison Co.) 161.95 acres. This site is located on the Madison River about a mile below Quake Lake. Included is over a mile of river frontage as well as a site for a potential recreation airstrip. Missouri River - Carter Ferry, FAS, (Chouteau Co.) 19.95 acres. This site, when purchased, had already been landscaped, with many trees and shrubs. These plantings are presently about five years old and the site should become more attractive as the shade trees mature. Development, is scheduled for the 1971-72 fiscal year. Pryor - Chief Plenty Coups Memorial State Monument (Big Horn Co.) 5 acres. This memorial to the last chief of the Crow Tribe is under development at the present time. The listed acquisition provided additional land and a more attractive entrance. Smith River - Fort Baker, FAS, (Meagher Co.) 51 acres. This site will be used as a "jump-off" for boating the Smith River. The army established a temporary fort at this location in 1869. Stillwater River - Cliff Swallow, FAS, (Stillwater Co.) 160 acres, This site was obtained from the Federal Government under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act at $2.50 per acre. Three Forks - Missouri River Headwaters State Monument (Gallatin Co.) 6.93 acres. The Federal Government granted this land under a special his- toric sites statute. Yellowstone River - Corwin Springs, FAS, (Park Co.) .94 acres - Queen of Waters - 10.00 acres. The Corwin Springs area was obtained by exchange with the Highway Department. Queen of Waters was donated for recreation development by a private individual. 24. oooooooo oooooooo § oooooooo oooooooo i^ini^CTiOrHLDro o o in fNCT^OCNr^CDCTivD U5 (U(T3 oi^mix>'Hoo<^ MO) nin^cocorsio Cjs^ Lnro^rHrvjvDLn < < CM r-H X o r^ C7> o n '^ o o u (0 r- (Ti H vD in CO 00 m a. n .H in .H CM CU U2 -t-) c ^ ^ M <^ r- >X) ^ 0 o 03 vO r-i '^ r-i ^ ^ a u rH rH D O &.{ (U .
