WILDLIFE RESTORATION PROGRAM INTRODUCTION With this biennium, ten years of wildlife restoration work has been completed in Montana. The program has been high-lighted by the development of habitat for waterfowl, game birds and big game; the acquisition of badly needed big game winter range; the restocking of depleted wildlife areas with live-trapped animals and birds, and investigative work which has led toward more intensive management of the state's valuable wildlife resource. This work which has become an important phase of the state's fish and game program, is financed by funds made available through an excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition. Previous to the estab- lishment of legislation known as the Pittman-Robertson Act, money from this excise tax flowed into the general fund of the United States treasury. However, since that time the money has been definitely earmarked for use by the various states in wildlife restoration proj- The amount alloted each state is determined by the state's area and number of licenses sold. Because of its size, Montana ranks ninth in the proportion of money received. This money is available on much the same basis as the Federal Aid to Highway Program. The state pays 25 per cent of the cost of the projects while the re- mainder comes from the arms and ammunition fund. Projects are. Antelope Trapping (18).
