Big Game Regulation.
Will Top Discussion
At Commission Meetino

Principal agenda of business
of the Montana Fish and Game
commission meeting in Helena
next week will be the discussion
of big game regulations for the
1888 season.
At their regular monthly gath
ering, members will go over ten
tative plans for the coming big
game season. regulations for
which will be sent to all state
sportsmen's clubs, livestock as
sociations and other state and
federal organizations before final
approval.
A policy adopted by the com.
mission last October set the open.
ing date of the big game season
on the Sunday nearest but fol-
lowing October 18th, which
would make this years opening
date Sunday. October 10th.
This change from the tradi-
tional October 18th opening will
give more Montanans an oppor.
tunity to hunt on opening day.
Also. livestock operators with
forest permits. which usually ex-
pire October IS, will be able to
remove cattle and sheep from
public domain prior to hunting
season. a spokesman for the de.
partment said. The procedure
will not change early opening
dates such as have been set in
wilderness areas or certain spe-
cial seasons but will apply to the
general opening dates in the
future.
