BEARTOOTH GAME RANGE 



The Beartooth Game Range, Montana's newest public-owned 

 winter game range, was bought by the Fish and Game Commission 

 June 8, 1970. The 27,000 acre area was purchased primarily as 

 an elk winter range, but it has tremendous possibilities for 

 other forms of recreation. 



Holter Lake lies along one edge. The Gates of the Mountains 

 joins the range on the southern boundary and guarantees a per- 

 manent buffer against encroachment by structures or roads. Elk, 

 deer and mountain goats inhabit the area. 



With proper management and developments, the Beartooth 

 Range will undoubtedly prove to be one of the state's finest 

 recreational investments.
