Your opportunity to comment about the proposed extend next year's Montana's upland bird season from Jan 1 to Jan 31.

I have mixed feelings about this proposal:
I would love to hunt an additional month, but
with deep snow and frigid temperatures pheasants typically take refuge in woody cover,
and flushing hens out of this winter refuge might increase hen mortality by avian and canine predators
as well as stress hens at a critical survival time?
I don't think the extension would hurt partridge or grouse populations.
