Montana FWP issued a May 22 memo to game wardens advising them to not cite Crow Tribal members who violate Montana state hunting laws in the Custer Gallatin National Forest east of the Yellowstone River, which includes the Ashland Ranger District. The memo comes as a response to the recent US Supreme Court ruling against Wyoming in the case of a Crow tribal member, Clayvin Herrera, who poached a bull elk on the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming in 2014.

Also, never give that number out unless you know exactly who you are talking to and why they need it. In Montana, durable medical equipment has been received and paid for b...
