Worry Over Federal Protection Of Migratory Birds
The Helena Independent reports worry across Montana eastern and western parts that a Washington dispatch classed wild ducks and geese as federally protected year round. State Game Warden De Hart and Deputy Morgan dispute that claim, noting the law likely targets spring protection only and that Montana statutes already prohibit spring shooting. The dispatch mentions a $100 fine for violations and a rider on a federal appropriation bill.
