Hunting Archery Duck Deer

HELENA, Mont. (AP) - Archery hunting in Montana’s Missouri Breaks area will be limited under a regulation adopted today by state wildlife commissioners.

The Breaks area is renowned for trophy elk.

Archery hunting there was a leading issue as the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission took up regulations for hunting an array of wildlife species statewide.

In some of the Breaks hunting districts, archery by Montana residents and nonresidents has been unlimited even though the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks limits rifle hunting there.

Although the number of elk permits issued this year will be 100% of the previous three years’ average, the availability of permits for nonresidents could decrease, depending on resident demand. In 2009, the total number of permits will be 75% of the previous three years’ average.
