The site, http://www.DoeCowHunt.Montana.edu, brings together landowners in terested in reducing the numbers of antlerless deer, antelope and elk on their property with hunters interested in filling their freezers. According to Jim Knight, wildlife specialist with the Montana State University Extension Service, the Web site has been a great success. \Over the past year, we’ve had nearly 19,000 visits,\ Knight said recently. \That’s in excess of 50 visits per day.” Landowners and hunters register on the site. Each gives particu lars about his or her interest, For landowners, these include the hunting district their land is in and the animals they’d like hunted. For hunters, the particulars include the species of antlerless animals they’d like to hunt and what districts they’d like to hunt in. Landowners and hunters alike enter an e-mail address, and, numbers and other contact infor- about 1300 registered users, that hunting is a wildlife manage- DoeCowllunt Web site enhances the that tool. Before the site was published and p u b l i c i z e d , Knight figured I that landowners 1 would contact hunters about as often as hunters contacted land- owners. What hap pened instead, he says, is that many landowners who aren't themselves regis tered on the DoeCowHunt Web site got in touch with hunters who are listed. \This is fine,\ says Knight. \Any way hunters and landowners get together we consider to be a good thing.\ He adds that landowners if they like, phone mation.

Users can now owners and hunters in more than Hunters can now easily find out about hunting doe and fawn deer, doe and fawn antelope, and cow and calf elk within a region. The site's administrator recently added a \frequently asked ques tions\ component. The Web site has generated interest among wildlife specialists in other states, as well. In February, Knight will demonstrate and discuss the Web site before the National Society for Range Management in Fort Worth, Texas. He'll do the same in April before the National Wildlife Damage Control conference in Traverse City, Michigan. ’’If our Web site continues to do its work, continues to bring hunters and landowners together to help manage big game herds, other states will no doubt copy us,\ says Knight. \As I remarked at the time the site went up, there's an advantage to the overpopulated herd if hunters are encouraged to shoot does and cows. To take one buck is to reduce a herd by one animal. To take one doe or cow is to reduce the herd by that animal and her offspring and her offspring's offspring.\ Knight points out that coordinating hunts for bucks and bulls is be yond the scope of the site, and that hunters are responsible for secur ing the necessary permits. There's no charge for using the sites, visitors are simply asked to register. Welcome Hunters! Preserve that hunting trip on film Mitchell Drug has everything you need...
