Attention Hunters, Anglers, Recreators: The CSKT would like you to be aware that a recent outbreak of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is causing numerous mortalities in white-tailed deer across western Montana. Carcasses tend to be concentrated around water sources, in particular, and can be creating an attractant for bear. Both grizzly and black bears are eating excessively to prepare for hibernation. Deer can be a nice boost for their hungry appetite, but also a potential place for a negative interaction between recreation and wildlife. Please carry bear spray and use extreme caution when recreating.
