Excerpt from Biennial Report, Montana Game and Fish Commission, State of Montana, 1933
During the season of 1033 the department paid bounty on 91 mountain lions. The fish and game commission pays a bounty of $25 for each lion killed within the state. These animals are great enemies of wild life as well as domestic stock, and the commission feels that the payment of the bounty is small, indeed, to the return to the sportsmen of the state.
It is hard to speak definitely of progress - although the commission has been assured that progress has been made, considering the critical period that the department has passed through with colors flying and increasing support from the sportsmen of the state. The commission has carried on its work - and this is outstanding - it has stayed within its income. There have been curtailments in all departments, but the loyal support and cooperation of all sportsmen in Montana has been most gratifying.
Montana is rapidly coming to the forefront as a sportsmen's paradise, not only for those in Montana but for those in other states - east, west, north and south. License returns for this year show a great number of outsiders coming to Montana in quest of big game - the chance to hunt through this marvelous country - its natural parks as great as its national ones. Credit must be given to the highway commission for its program of better roads, to the forestery service, and to other agencies bringing about a "Montana Game Revival."
A perusal of the reports of the biennial show progress. This, coupled with the knowledge that Montana sportsmen are behind the Montana fish and game commission and are ready to cooperate to the fullest degree, leads me to say that the future of the Montana fish and game department looks brighter.
