Grizzly Hide Row Sparks Montana Fish and Game Tug of War
A Montana grizzly killed cattle in Tom Miner Basin and was killed by a rancher and trapper. The eight by ten foot prime hide was offered to the Fish and Game Commission, which approved taxidermy costs funded from the department. The Big Timber Rod and Gun club protested the appropriation, enlisting lawmakers to recover the hide.
