Park elk hunt - 1961

Post by llholmes1948 »

I saw this in the Hungry Horse News yesterdays column. I wonder how long these hunts took place:

"60 years ago

Jan. 6, 1961

....Glacier Park would have its annual elk harvest in St. Mary, with the meat going to the Blackfeet Tribe. About 50 elk were expected to be taken. Four Blackfeet rangers would take the elk. Without the annual harvest, it was expected the herd would increase about 20 percent per year."
