Water is a hazard waterfowl hunters face that that land-based hunters don and #39;t. That is why FWP’s youth waterfowl hunting safety workshops focus on firearm, weather and water safety. The weather and water safety lessons are important for all waterfowl hunters. Montana and #39;s waterfowl-hunting season begins Sept. 29. Here, as a refresher for all waterfowl hunters, are some of the safety tips included in FWPs waterfowl hunting safety course.

2007 Antelope Season Opener Changed
The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission agreed in May to maintain Montana and #39;s traditional Columbus Day weekend antelope season opener. The 2007 antelope season opens Oct. 7 this year, even though the opening date was listed as Oct. 14 in the 2007 antelope hunting regulations. The Nov. 11 closing date for antelope season did not change. With the change, the archery only antelope season will overlap the general antelope season for a week–Oct. 7-13.

Antelope Facts

It is the only living member of its family, it is not related to Old World antelope you may have read about. There are five pronghorn subspecies in the U.S. and three are endangered and protected due to habitat loss. Antelope may have been even more numerous than the American bison on the Great Plains at one time.
