MONTANA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



Reading from left to right the commissioners are: W. C. Keil of Billings; 

 P. G. Gutensohn of Whitefish, Ray G. Lowe of Glendive, chairman; J. J. Harper 

 of Anaconda, and A. C. Baumgartner of Great Falls. 



During the past biennium the Montana Fish and Game Commission has 

 been faced with the difficult task of keeping the fish and game resources of 

 the state at a higher level than the increasing demands upon them by sports- 

 men and tourists. 



Montana is not only known over the United States as a great game area, 

 but one where progressive practices of fish and game management are in 

 force and where game officials are striving earnestly to maintain the great 

 wealth in fish and game. 



The Montana Fish and Game Department was one of the first to fall in 

 line with the New Deal policies of rehabilitation, sensing the need of broad 

 and long-time programs for building up and maintaining fish and game popu- 

 lations. Under this commission game problems were and are being served in 

 a scientific manner with but one end in view — the interests of the sportsmen.
