their own In fact. reports of deputy
state game wardenS to the state fish
and game commission, indicates beaver
are increasing in numbers.
There is no definite number of the
fur-bearing animals taken in the state
trapped only by special permit from
the state department, and then only
by landowners upon their own land.
Official Investigates
When a landowner applies for
beaver trapping permit, deputy ward
en- is sent to the property to lnveSti-
gate. He checks the number of beaver
and makes an appraisal of the damage
they are doing before recommending
to the department how many beaver
he believes the landowner should be
permitted to take.
There is no set season on beaver
and they can be taken at any time
of the year under special permit.
The principal wild fur-bearing ami
mails in Montana in addition to beaver.
are muskrat. mink and marten. There
are a few native red foxes scattered
throughout the state. but the number
caught annually is too small to affect
the total value of furs taken. according
to state game officials.
All of these are protected under
strict regulatory program designed to
keep the present population on an
even keel This year chat is. the sea-

lowed to take only muskrat and mink.
Bar Marten and Fox
Last year marten and fox we're open
to trapping. also. but were barred to
trapperS this year land may be again
next year,, since the state department
felt their numbers had been reduced
to such an extent that protection for
a couple of years will be necessary to
let them gain ground ahead of the
trappers.
The extent of the trapping business
insofar as wild fur-bearing animals
are concerned is indicated in Montana
by the fact that during the 1878
licenses were sold. and 500 permits is
sued to landowners for the taking of
beaver
For each regular trapping license.
the state charges $40; landowners pay
$40 for each beaver permit, and 81
for license to trap animals for which
there is a regular season.
Fur farms are the most important
sources of fur in the state now. Not
only do they provide source of fur
bearing animals without depopulating
the wild varieties, but they provide, on
the average, higher class of pelts.
Under State Supervision
Fur farms are under the supervision
of the state fish and game department,
but do not have to pay for licenses.
At present there are approximately 100
of these farms in the state, about half
the number there were a few years
ago, the decline being partly due to
the drop in the fur market. Most Of
the fur farms are located in the west
ern part of the state, although a few
are located in other sections.

northwest. 1t Is fur developed through

found, has q strong tendency toward
