Most Montana high school students would say that Montana's wildlife is at an all-time low, says Harold Picton, professor emeritus of wildlife management at Montana State University. Other Montanans might think so, too.
But many people don't realize how far the populations fell or how hard Montanans worked to restore them, Picton said. Montana actually has more wildlife today than at any time in more than a century.
"People are the ones that took them down, and people are the ones that took them back with help from government, universities and the legislature," said filmmaker Terry Lonner of Media Works Studio in Bozeman, an MSU graduate.
