Editor, Beaver Creek Park has beaver, and park management is determined to trap and kill them. Management has been offered free help. A free solution. Dave Pauli with Humane Society of United States, out of Montana, proposed a grant to fully fund the installation and maintenance of beaver deceivers in two to three of the worst-identified areas in the park for beaver activity. It would provide a cost-effective non-lethal alternative demo site with potential added benefits to education, tourism, wildlife watching and...

The weather certainly has taken a turn for the better in recent days. And, at the same time, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock's stay-at-home order came to an end as well, as Montana enters Phase I of his plan to re-open amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The combination of those two things together means outdoor recreation in Beaver Creek Park is sure to pick up. And, the park is most definitely open to all types of outdoor recreation, including overnight camping. According to the Beaver...
Although some jurisdictions are not relaxing their restrictions, some changes are starting to happen with the stay-at-home directive after Gov. Steve Bullock announced last week that starting Sunday a phased re-opening to the state is allowed. Bullock said it is up to local jurisdictions whether they would lift restrictions, and the situation could change with more restrictions enacted if cases start to rise again. Although the state has suffered its 15th COVID-19 death, the number of new confirmed cases remains low, with two...

A photo caption in the story “Some state outdoor recreation set to re-open as Bullock announces Phase I” on the Outdoors page in Thursday’s edition of the Havre Daily News misreported that a sign at Fish, Wildlife and Parks Bear Paw Lake location showed Beaver Creek Park was closed to camping due to COVID-19 restrictions. That was true only at Bear Paw Lake. Park staff said Beaver Creek Park did not close. The only thing the park closed to the public was the park office. Recreation activities such as hiking and overn...
Editor’s note: This corrects misreporting in the photo caption that said camping was closed in Beaver Creek Park. Camping was and is not closed in the park. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced Wednesday his Phase I for reopening the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening comes after slower growth in new COVID-19 cases statewide. Montana reached 439 cases Wednesday, after two weeks of flattening the curve. Fourteen people have died statewide. Bullock's stay-at-home o...
One of the most emphasized aspects of Montana's stay-at-home order, as well as orders like that all over the country, is one thing you can do is get outside and get some exercise. Of course, in Montana there's a lot of room to do that, too, while still practicing social distancing. And now that spring looks like it's finally here, more and more of you will want to get out and find a trail. Under the current stay-at-home order, that's perfectly fine. Again, it's, no doubt, a...

Stress is something we all deal with. But, the type of stress we’re going through right now is unprecedented. So, with that in mind, I promise that what I’m about to say is not coming from any place other than that of genuine concern for all of us in Havre, Hill County and the Hi-Line. We all live here, so we’re all in this coronavirus world together. And what I’m going to say is actually a question, and my question is this: Can we please just tough this quarantine, or stay-at-home-order or whatever we want to call it, out...

Out our way, most cattle seem to know the pasturelands are safe and are used to riders coming and going. Open range cattle, on the other hand, can be nervous as all get out. When Charlie and I worked the herds up on the Tiger Ridge, although we occasionally had to chase a few strays who bolted from the main herd, I never sensed any real panic. However, out in the Beaver Creek area, the park is leased out to ranchers as open range — and when it’s time for roundup, they can be easily spooked. I recall one fall day when the vari...
