From golden trout in the Beartooths to trophy walleye in Fort Peck Lake, from sharptail grouse on the prairie to mountain goats in the Crazies, Montana is hard to beat.

Credit the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks for much of what we have, and expect to pay a few more bucks next year to maintain that bounty. FWP is facing a $5.75 million budget...

When Jason called in, in support of it, the operator assumed that he was opposed to it, and...
