The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes recently announced proposed changes to the Hunting, Fishing and Recreation Regulations for CSKT members, effective March 1, 2024-Feb. 28, 2025.

According to a press release, the CSKT Tribal Council welcomes comments from the public on the draft regulations. Comments must be submitted via letter or email, no later than 5:30 p.m. March 1. An in-person public comment period is slated for 4-5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 29, at the CSKT Permit office, 406 6th Ave. East in Polson.

Regulation proposals include provisions to minimize the spread of wildlife diseases and the spread of aquatic invasive species. These include a season on American Bullfrogs; restrictions for Lick cave, located on the northeast portion of the reservation, to minimize the potential spread of White-nose syndrome to bats; aquatic invasive species prevention; and Chronic Wasting Disease reporting.
