March 1 marks the new license year for Montana fishermen and women and for hunters, as well.

Every year sees a new generation of hunters take to the mountains and plains of Montana, and those new hunters need the proper training and instruction, not just for safety, but to truly enjoy the outdoor experience.

Montana recorded its first suspected case of chronic wasting disease in wild elk Monday.

The impetus for this story comes from a report of an injured bear that had to be euthanized near Kila, Montana.
