Unlike some of the eastern states and Canadian provinces, the 

 game and fish districts of Montana are not subject to private lease by 

 native or foreign citizens, and all this vast territory is open to the 

 humblest followers of the sport, subject only to the liberal provisions 

 of the state game laws, which permit the killing in season of all game 

 excepting moose and antelope, while fish may be caught from the waters 

 at all times of the year with rod, hook and line. 



Big game hunting, a princely extravagance in most parts of the 

 globe, is easily within the reach of everyone in Montana, and the 

 numbers of eastern and European sportsmen who come to this state to 

 enjoy an annual outing is largely increasing year by year. 



The limited information contained in this pamphlet is intended to 

 serve as a guidance to those sportsmen who are unfamiliar with the 

 localities of the different varieties of game and fish within the 

 boundaries of this state. 



Copies of the game and fish laws of Montana will be forwarded 

 upon request by the State Game and Fish Warden at Helena, Montana. 



Hunting and Fishing in Northern Montana. 



The northern tier of counties from east to west consist of: Valley, 

 Sheridan, Hill, Toole, Blaine, Chouteau, Teton, Flathead and Lincoln 

 and are traversed by the Great Northern Railway. From Mondak to 

 Milk River, the railroad follows the Missouri River. At any station 

 between these points are caught cat fish, pike, buffalo fish, sturgeon 

 and ling, the pike weighing from two to five pounds and the catfish 

 from one to twelve pounds. Farther west on the Milk River are located 

 the towns of Glasgow, Hinsdale, Malta and Dodson where the fish are 

 also caught. There are good hotel accommodations at all 

 of these points. There are no trout streams in this part 

 of the state. At any point along the line of the railway and also 

 off the line to the north and south between Mondak and Havre are 

 found grouse, while sagehens abound in any direction from the follow- 

 ing stations: Poplar, Nashua, Glasgow, Hinsdale, Saco, Malta, Wagner, 

 and Dodson. 



There is desultory duck shooting along any of the streams in this 

 section of the state, but the great mecca for duck hunters Is Lake Bow- 

 doin, near Malta. Here is a natural hatchery for water fowls. Ducks 

 and geese nest here by the thousands and during the southern migra- 

 tion of these aquatic fowls, its waters afford a resting place for the 

 wearied flocks of the north.
