Attention reservation ranchers and rural residents!!!
Please contact BFWD (406-338-7207) or Dispatch (406-338-4000) immediately if you have suffered depredation losses. Time is of the essence when comes to investigating grizzly, wolf, or mountain lion kills. The evidence collected during these investigations provide justification for livestock-loss reimbursement programs.
Ranchers, farmers, and rural residents are also advised that Wildlife Services/APHIS has a cost-share program for electric fencing projects to protect livestock. Please contact Blackfeet Fish & Wildlife at (406) 338-7207. If you have bears getting close to habitations, barns, or too close to humans, please report this to BFWD. Don't wait until you have a bear encounter or suffer bear damage to your property.
P.S. Please properly store dog food, livestock feed, and all other attractants.
Thank you!!!
