UM Students Learn at Game Check Stations

University of Montana Wildlife Biology students have been working together with Fish Wildlife and Parks to man game check stations for over a decade. Students are taught by the biologists at each check station how to properly age wild game and the students assist FWP in obtaining data used to assess game population in Montana. UM News Reporter Stephanie Hansen and photographer Matt DeBray went to the check station near Bonner to see what the students were learning first hand.

Out-of-state Hunting Tags.

Out-of-state student hunters are reaping the benefits of this year's legislative session. Montana Senate Bill 185 lets these students buy hunting and fishing licenses at the same price as residents. Reporter Katrina Heser and Photographer Carmen Ebert show us one student who is saving money on tags and supporting his tight college budget.



Out of state students looking to buy the combination license need to bring their Griz card, proof of hunter's education, and a transcript to their nearest Fish Wildlife and Parks office.
