The extended summer with temperatures near 80 degrees Fahrenheit in recent weeks has been great, as a few more of my tomatoes, peppers and pumpkins ripened. Unfortunately, winter isn't that far away. Like most gardeners, there is a list of tasks I need to complete before the first snowflakes fall. One of the tasks not on my to-do list is plant clean-up. I won't remove any plant debris (leaves and stems) from my flowerbeds and lawn this fall. This includes leaves from my trees, perennials and...

For generations, hunting season has been an all-hands-on-deck event for the Eskridge family. Donn Eskridge grew up hunting pheasant, duck, fur, and deer in his home state of Iowa. His wife, Vicki (Reimers), grew up hunting elk, deer, rabbits, and upland birds with her family in the mountains of Wyoming. After meeting and marrying in Montana, they packed up our brothers, John Baker, Clayton Eskridge, and on all their adventures. Pheasant hunting in eastern Montana, deer and antelope hunting in th...
Destination: Northeast Montana (Region 6) A couple years of drought and the long winter in 2022-23 have reduced deer and elk populations. FWP adjusted license quotas in many districts as needed. The winter of 2023-24 was fairly mild, however, and habitat conditions in much of northeast Montana have improved considerably. Abundant spring and early summer rainfall earlier this year resulted in good recovery of range plants. Elk Surveys in the Missouri River Breaks showed elk numbers about 56 percent below long-term averages and population at 41...
BILLINGS – Every year, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks staff find big game animal carcasses dumped on public and private land. Carcass dumping is illegal and can spread disease. This hunting season, protect our herds and make sure you have a plan to properly dispose of animal carcasses. Under Montana state statute, dumping carcasses on public and private land without the owner’s consent is considered littering and can result in fines not exceeding $500. Conviction of littering while hunting can also result in the suspension of hunting and fis...

Don’t wait until it is too late. Hunters who haven’t already asked permission from private landowners to hunt need to do so as soon as possible. Montana law requires hunters to obtain permission for all hunting on private land. Whether pursuing upland game birds, coyotes, gophers or any other wildlife, hunters must have permission from the landowner before hunting on private property. This also includes entering private land to retrieve wildlife or to access public land to hunt. Landowners may grant permission in person, over the phone, in wri...
Tim Klasna and his son, Dylan, closed out another successful harvest this fall on their dryland farm 25 miles northwest of Lambert. They raise wheat, oats, and triticale (a wheat/rye hybrid forage or grain crop) to feed the cattle portion of their operation. Oats can be purchased from Klasnas by the bag or truckload. They bale the straw from their winter wheat and oat fields to bed their cattle, and save some of the triticale seed to plant the following year. Their combination of crop rotations...

A question we commonly get here in the Extension Office is, “What is hay worth?” The answer to this question usually is, it depends. The price of hay depends on multiple factors including cost of production and quality. Hay quality varies based on management, storage, and type of hay. Different forage types will be higher in protein or energy, and this greater quality is worth more than other forage that is low in protein or energy. Hay high in nitrates would be worth less than hay that is not. These quality factors can only be determined by...
