Montana hunters have been afield pursuing deer, elk and other big game, just as we have done for decades. But new this year is the knowledge that chronic wasting disease — CWD — is present in our state’s mule deer and white-tailed deer. Last year’s first-ever detection of this devastating disease in Montana wildlife was a huge blow to our state, although its arrival was considered inevitable. This fall, more harvested deer have tested positive for this always-fatal neurodegenerative disease. For years, Montana has been su...

By Emily Mayer The end of the “War to End All Wars” didn’t mean life immediately went back to the way it was before the United States entered the war. Life forever changed worldwide, in some ways for the better, in others not so much. It was estimated it would take a year to bring all American troops back home, and it would take a while for cropland and livestock herds in Europe to replenish and for communities to rebuild. United States Food Administrator Herbert Hoover announced we would be feeding the hungry in Europ...

Beau LaSalle was named the head coach of the Havre High wrestling team last March. However, his first practice was last week and his first tournament at the helm, is little more than a week away.

The last time fans of the Montana State Bobcats saw a playoff game inside Bobcat Stadium, Jeff Choate was coaching the defensive line at the University of Washington, while the Cats lost a wild game to South Dakota State in an all-out blizzard.

Out our way, winter is usually a time of less activity for both Doc and me. But it is not a time of less feed and by spring we both find we have trouble with cinch and belt. More than once, as I saddled up for that first ride in the spring, I found we both had somewhat expanded girth. I also found that my stomach was sometimes getting in the way when I tried to raise my foot up into the stirrup. But most of all, it was the look Doc gave me when I tried to swing up and the “oof” sound he sometimes made when I finally got abo...
You know, Lord, this month — on the 22nd — the full moon is called the Beaver Moon and, according to folklore, that’s when the beavers become active while preparing for winter. A friend also mentioned that November’s full moon might also be called the Frosty Moon, and some years that is for sure, but we’ll wait and see for this year! In the still of the evening, the blue of the sky is as no artist can capture. The moon peeks through naked trees and seems to wink and grin as a long, slim cloud wipes across its face. Long ago,...
