Montana Sportmen Hear Value Of Wildlife At 461 Million
M S Carpenter, secretary of the Montana State Sportsmen association, told the Billings Kiwanis club wildlife in Montana is worth 461 million dollars. He compared state gains from game to the health and happiness of residents and visitors, citing Pennsylvania’s 1920 returns of 8.5 million from wildlife and noting Montana’s larger size suggests higher returns with proper game law enforcement. He noted U.S. duck killings approach 75 million annually and Minnesota’s three year duck take averages, with hunting ammunition costs adding further value to the sport.
