Hunt Spotlight
On Middle Fork

The elk hunting spotlight shift
ed this week to the Flathead river.

mains open on both bulls and COW.

creek (Nyack) to the continental
divide.
Changing or the South Fork
early hunting season last Septem-
Der to include only antlered bulls
Is likely responsible for the cur
rent wrong information that lust
antlered bulls may be taken up the
Middle Fork. However all elk on
the Middle Fork outside the park
and above Nyack are now legal
meat for the hunter
Snow already to two foot depths
is causing elk to come to lower ell
evatlons in winter punching, and
it is expected that Middle Fork
hunters will have more rewards
than did the South Fork hunters.
Total elk kill in the Flathead at
last report was 453 with the to-
tai kill for the season expected to
pass 900. This compares with last
years figure of 1885 of which
1888 were killed up the South Fork,
a 12O-mile long uninhabited noun
tain, valley, forest area.
The South Fork elk herd is still
considered to number about 1000,
though many 1947 hunters disag-
rec. However this fall with above
normal temperatures and less snow
resulted in the elk staying on sum-
ner range which is not as favorable
