Elk Season Open Despite Advised Ruling

District Judge George W. Padbury Jr took under advisement late yesterday the suit by the Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's Association and W. B. Frame of Butte against the state fish and game commission to block an early elk season in Flathead county. The case, filed Sept 2, sought to enjoin a May 10 decision allowing Sept 15 to Nov 30 as an open season, with warden-implemented closures on the South Fork and Middle Fork after set harvests. Hunters were prepared to move into the South Fork country Thursday, and officials indicated a court decision was not yet issued. The action aims to reduce the Flathead herd to match grazing capacity. The group contends Montana statutes set Oct 15 to Nov 15 as the open season and that the commission lacks authority to lengthen it. (Continued on Page 6).
