Montana’s Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission will meet Jan. 14 at the FWP Helena Headquarters, 1420 East 6 th Ave beginning at 1 p.m. The FWP Commission will make final decisions on: - acquiring bighorn sheep habitat near Anaconda and a right-of-way for a fishing access site 24 miles west of Bozeman on the Madison River; - Montana’s bighorn sheep conservation strategy; and - waterfowl hunting on Mitchell Slough near Missoula. The commission will also consider proposals on the FWP budget and legislative priorities; the peregrine falcon take for falconry in 2010; antler-shed hunting on wildlife management areas; two conservation easements for upland game birds, and clarification of the no-wake zone rule on Echo and Swan lakes. Commissioners will also discuss bison management in Montana. A morning work session beginning at 8:30 a.m. will include a joint meeting with the Board of Livestock, and discussions on hunter/landowner stewardship and conservation management along the Rocky Mountain Front. FWP ensures its meetings are fully accessible to those with a disability. Individuals with special needs may request arrangements by contacting FWP at: 406-444-3186.
