3 ‘Hoot owl’ restrictions lifted on portions of some Montana rivers

Several “hoot owl” restrictions currently in effect on portions of some Montana rivers will be lifted at 2 p.m. today.

Restrictions will be lifted on: • Missouri River from the Cascade boat ramp to Holter Dam (river mile 2,166.2 to 2,202.1) • Madison River from Ennis Dam to the border with Yellowstone National Park (river mile 40 to 131) • Stillwater River from the confluence with the Yellowstone River to Absaroka Fishing Access Site (river mile 0.0 to 13) The hoot owl restriction on the lower Madison River from the confluence with the Missouri River to Ennis Dam (river mile 0.0 to 40) remains in place due to high water temperatures. Hoot owl restrictions means fishing is closed from 2 p.m. to midnight each day. Angling restrictions are implemented based on several considerations: stream flow, water temperatures, angling pressure and other angling restrictions in the area that may divert use to waterways where circumstances are increasing stress on the fishery. Before you go fishing, please be aware of the conditions. Numerous other rivers in Montana are also under fishing restrictions. For a full list, visit FWP’s website: https://fwp.mt.gov/news/current-closures- restrictions. If you’re looking for angling opportunities, many ponds, lakes and reservoirs in Montana provide good mid-summer angling options. For more information go online to fwp.mt.gov. Streams at higher elevations that don’t experience higher temperatures are another good option.

4 Grizzly bear injures two people in Madison Range Victims treated for relatively minor injuries

ENNIS – Two people were injured last Tuesday, August 10, in an encounter with a grizzly bear southeast of Ennis. Around 8:30 p.m., two men were hiking with a dog off trail in the Bear Creek area when they encountered a sow grizzly bear with cubs at close range. During the encounter, the two hikers were injured by the bear. However, they were able to use bear spray to defend themselves. Fortunately, both hikers were able to leave the attack site without assistance and received treatment for relatively minor injuries. Sows with cubs can be especially defensive in close encounters with people. It’s likely this attack was defensive in nature. A game warden with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks investigated the scene of the attack on Wednesday with law enforcement staff from the U.S. Forest Service. The trail nearest the incident has been closed and signed temporarily as a precaution. Other trails in this area have also been signed, advising visitors of the incident. No further management action is planned at this time. Recreationists, residents and people who work outdoors can be prepared for a surprise bear encounter. Activities that are deliberately quiet or fast moving, such as hunting, mountain biking or trail running, put people at greater risk for surprising a bear. When you’re spending time in Montana’s outdoors, keep these precautions in mind:

• Be aware of your surroundings and look for bear sign. • Read signs at trailheads and stay on trails. Be especially careful around creeks and in areas with dense brush. • Carry bear spray. Know how to use it and be prepared to deploy it immediately. • Travel in groups whenever possible and make casual noise, which can help alert bears to your presence. • Stay away from animal carcasses, which often attract bears. • Follow food storage orders from the applicable land management agency. • If you encounter a bear, never approach it. Leave the area when it is safe to do so. Grizzly bears in the lower 48 states are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Management authority for grizzlies rests with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, working closely in Montana with FWP, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services, the Forest Service and Tribal lands. This collaboration happens through the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee. For more information on bear safety, visit go.usa.gov/xFmsQ.

"Scientists found in research subject to debate that bear spray was 92 percent effective in deterring attacks from the three species of North American bears—brown, black and polar— in Alaska between 1985 and 2006; 98 percent of people carrying bear spray who got into close encounters with bears were uninjured."

5 Secretary Haaland Highlights Conservation Investments in Visit to Yellowstone National Park MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. ⁠— Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland wrapped her weeklong trip out West today in Yellowstone National Park. The swing featured stops in Washington state, California, and Wyoming where she highlighted the Biden-Harris administration’s historic investments in America’s infrastructure, the clean energy economy, and conservation efforts, consistent with the America the Beautiful initiative. During her visit at Yellowstone National Park, Secretary Haaland highlighted how the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) is making significant investments in park infrastructure, creating jobs, and supporting local economies. GAOA furthers the goals of President Biden’s America the Beautiful initiative to support locally led efforts to conserve, restore, and protect lands and waters across the nation to help address the climate and biodiversity crises, increase equitable access to the great outdoors, and strengthen the economy. “Nature is essential to the health, well-being, and prosperity of every family and community in America. As we experience record visitation at parks and public lands across the country, now is the time to make the investments in our lands and waters that are long overdue,” said Secretary Haaland. “The Great American Outdoors Act is bipartisanship at its best, and it is through federal investments and state, Tribal, and local partnerships that we can be stewards of these lands for generations to come.” In Yellowstone, Secretary Haaland met with young people conducting conservation projects within the park through Groundwork USA. She also met with park leadership and staff to better understand how they are navigating the impact of record visitation levels expected in 2021. The Secretary’s visit comes on the heels of the Senate’s passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the most significant long-term investment in the United States’ infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century. In addition to historic funding to repair and rebuild the nation’s roads and bridges, the legislation would support the development of a network of electric vehicle chargers along highways and in rural communities and electrify thousands of buses across the country. The Act, if passed, would complement the significant investments in national park infrastructure that have been made through GAOA funding. In 2021, Interior is investing more than $1.6 billion in GAOA funding to address critical deferred maintenance projects and improve transportation and recreation infrastructure on public lands and Bureau of Indian Education schools. In Yellowstone alone, the park is investing $121.5 million from the Act’s Legacy Restoration Fund to rehabilitate 22 miles of the Grand Loop Road between Old Faithful and West Thumb, replace the Lewis River Bridge, rehabilitate and reconfigure a historic dormitory at Old Faithful, and complete historic building restoration at Fort Yellowstone. The GAOA investments in the park’s infrastructure in 2021 alone are expected to support nearly 1,600 jobs and contribute $333.9 million to the nation’s economy.
