This week we’re diving deep into migration barriers, some new science coming out showing how to identify migration barriers and how removing old fence can make a big difference.
But before we get into that we get a little update on some Montana fishing, everything from cutthroat to largemouth bass as well as a quick sheep scouting update.
A rain derailed and collapsed a bridge into the Yellowstone River spilling an estimated 500,000 pounds of liquid asphalt into the water.
In Montana recreation users will now be required to purchase a conservation license if they utilize a Fishing Access Site.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation wrote an interesting op-ed in which they talk about fixing the “Cottonwood Decision”
In Nevada, 23,675 acres of BLM land has been leased out for a solar development for 105 million dollars.

Pretty sure Pronghorn don't jump and go under fences, but yes, fence pulls are God's work.
In Arizona, the Arizona Antelope Foundation has upcoming fence projects. One in August near Parks, AZ and one in Sept in 18A. Good projects, need more younger volunteers.
Once in my life and my dad's have we seen a antelope jump a fence
Could the wireless fence be the key to bison reintroduction?
20:05 Randy called Pronghorn Antelope!!!! 😂
Just wondering why FWP doesn't have over the counter Pronghorn tags? They are everywhere. I see them in areas I've never seen them before.
Saw a few jump a fence in one group in Nevada. The fence had a 30-yard area where rocks and dirt had filled up the fence line, and it was only 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. Easy to jump over, even for Antalope
Great stuff! 👍
Mike P can talk about selling rocks and I’d still listen.
👨⚖ Existing Laws on "Proper Fencing" Have Never Been Enforced in Montana! 😡 The State Agencies Are Even Violating Their Own Laws, With Some Of the Fences That They Install! 🤯 Why? 🕵️♂️
I build fence commercially and on wildlife fence we do 18”bottom wire 42 “top wires and 12” gaps and we run 3 wires with a white wire as the top wire that’s Colorado solution
Thanx
Great Job as always guys
