Don't Feed the Bears
HELENA - Montanans' avid interest in watching wild animals can, for some folks, make the temptation to feed them nearly irresistible. While feeding birds, squirrels, and even raccoons is legal, feeding big game-deer, elk, moose, bear and such-is not. It is the law-big game animals may not be fed. Even feeding wild birds and squirrels is a big responsibility that can have unexpected consequences. F... |

Soaking up the Big Hole Valley
By Mike Javorka Seasons turn quickly and things change slowly in places like the Big Hole Valley of southwest Montana. For the thousands of hunters who arrive to these popular elk-, deer- and moose-hunting grounds each year, it's a long, rough ride out of the hills and across the broad sage flats to the town of Jackson.Jack-legged fences line the roads and big stacks of hay dot the valley like g... |

That’s My Boy!
Like any adage, the dog as "man's best friend" rests upon a bedrock of truth. As pets, canines are revered as loyal companions and four-legged alarm systems, attributes that elevate them, in the hearts of dog lovers, far above the me-first attitude of cats and the house-plant inertness of fish, birds, lizards and the like. And when it comes to cross-species relationships,... |

Freshwater Fighters: Northern pike
/Montana Living magazine There's one species of fish in Montana that has a love/hate relationship with anglers.Northern pike. The name alone conjures up images of slashing teeth, long slimy bodies and a head like a crocodile. Bring one of these creatures into the boat and you'd better be loaded for bear.

Disappointment took root as each "maybe aroun... |

Schafer Meadows: a wilderness trip of a lifetime
The drone of a light plane in the clouds overhead brings our attention away from breakfast. The plane circles again and again, like a pesky mosquito, then finds a break in the clouds and breaks through the opening. The plane touches down at Schafer airstrip only a few hundred yards from where we're camped on the upper Middle Fork of the Flathead River. As we prepare our rafts and kay... |

Montana's Best 9-hole Golf Courses
Story/photo "Let's just play nine holes." The comment from a playing partner was a bit of a letdown, as we'd planned to play a full round 18 holes. Golf is meant to be played over 18 holes ... or so they say, but time constraints sometimes force golfers to reduce their allotted playing time to nine holes. A nine-hole is kind of a condensed version of a full round where... |
