We have to get control of these three-letter agencies. Did you hear the latest from FWP? They are going to pay a landowner in Garfield County $148,000 to introduce prairie dogs to the area. That's right, prairie dogs. Not only that, they will intervene if they have to for control of the plague should it infest the colony. Mark my words, they will regret that for many years to come. That 1,500 acres will explode to 100,000 acres in 20 years. This rodent is doing so much damage to the native grasses and rangeland in Montana. I don't know if we will ever be able to repair the damage.
FWP to proceed with prairie dog conservation contract
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has issued a Decision Notice to proceed with a Prairie Dog Conservation Contract in Garfield and Rosebud County, Mont., eight miles north of Ingomar. The contract will conserve, protect, and enhance approximately 2,975 acres of important prairie dog colonies and associated habitat for 10 years, beginning July 2024 and continuing through July 2034. The contract would be implemented by a one-time payment of $148,750 to the affected landowner. This one-time payment would be funded by a 50/50 split between a National Fish & Wildlife Foundation grant and state tax revenue from FWP's Nongame Wildlife Account.
