Public shooting ground agreed for Red Rock refuge
Montana State fish and game commission and the survey reach a plan to designate a permanent public shooting area on Red Rock refuge. Shooting limited to the lower lake and river valley area with strict precautions to protect trumpeter swans and an educational effort for proper swan identification. A cooperative state agreement will regulate use, with no special privileges for any group and potential club leasing arrangements. If funds allow, a club colony may be created near the lower lake shooting ground, and a January Helena meeting will finalize the management plan.
