Region 6 Check
Station Results for
the 2016 Season

The final results are in

at Montana Fish, Wildlife
and Parks Havre check
station for the 2016 hunting
season. The check station
was open from Oct. 8 (the
open of general antelope)
through Nov. 27 (the end
of the deer/elk general
season).
Overall,
both hunter numbers and
big-game harvest increased
from last year, with mule
deer numbers being the
highest in several years.
Hunter
numbers
(1,810) were up 17% from
2015, and were the highest
seen since 2010. Some of
this was likely due to doe
tags being available again
this year, but also may have
had something to do with
the mild weather.
Weather conditions this
year were quite unusual,
said Havre-area biologist
Scott
Hemmer,
who
manages the check station.
Early in the season was
very wet and rainy, making
access difficult. Later in

Biologists Heather Harris and Scott Hemmer check a mule deer at the Havre check station.

the year was unseasonably

warm and dry. I dont
remember a year like this
where we didnt have at
least some cold weather.
Despite
the
mild
conditions, which can
sometimes lead to difficult
hunting, hunter success
was very good, especially
for mule deer. The most
noteworthy change this
year was a significant
increase in deer harvest,
said Hemmer.
Mule deer harvest of
507 for the year was up

49% from last year, and

7% above the long-term
average. The total mule
deer harvest numbers were
the highest since 2010, and
the mule deer buck harvest
was the highest since 2007.
Understandably, Hemmer
said most hunters reported
seeing considerably more
deer than in recent years,
and also with available
B-tags for does, more
harvest occurred.

For the year, 101 whitetails were brought by the
check station, which is 80%

higher than 2015, but still

39% below the long-term
average.
Hunters
reported
seeing increasing whitetailed deer numbers this
year, but numbers did
not appear to be back
to pre-EHD (epizootic
hemorrhagic
disease)
levels in most areas, said
Hemmer.
However,
hunters
enjoyed
the
opportunity to harvest a
white-tailed doe, as single-

Jim Holter, age 70, passed away December 2, 2016, after a

short battle with cancer. Services will be held at the Assembly of
God Church Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.

James Casper (Jim to most, Jimmy to only a chosen few) was
born October 16, 1946, in Billings, MT to Cap and Idell Holter.
The young family moved back to Glasgow when Jim was still
a baby, where he was joined by sister Sylvia, brother Curt, then
sister Joyce.
Jim attended Glasgow schools and was actively involved
in FFA, 4-H, Key Club and Wrestling. After the family moved
to the farm in 1957, Jims days were spent milking, feeding the
animals, cutting hay, picking rocks out of the fields and burning
the midnight oil doing his school work. He enjoyed riding horses,
rock cutting and polishing and wood lathing. Wrestling became
a great passion of his, so he had to fit that activity in with all his
chore duties.

Jim attended Concordia College, then enlisted in the Marines
and was stationed at San Diego, California, and Okinawa, Japan.
He married his first wife, Joyce Granley from Bainville and they
had two children, daughter Kirsten followed by son Dion. He
and Joyce were divorced and he later met and married Sandra
Halverson, together they raised Shaw Halverson.
Jim enjoyed teaching for several years. He had remained
active in all the wrestling programs as fan, assistant to coaches
and coaching AAU wrestling. He also enjoyed his bowling team
and missed being involved with that this season.Mission trips to
Mexico were highlights in his Christian life. Jim loved music and
used his talents to man the sound board for the church worship
team.

Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Cap and Idell Holter
and his second wife Sandra.

He is survived by his children Dion (Kelley) and grandchildren
Sydney, Isaac, Macey and Remi Holter of Greenville, Tennessee;
Kirsten (Jake) and granddaughter Paige Hatzenbiler and a great
grandson, Rylan of Belle Fouche, South Dakota; Sisters Sylvia
Little, Joyce (Dan) Miller and brother Curt (Becky) Holter, and
nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jim has been laid to rest in the family cemetery on the farm.
The Family of Cap Holter would like to thank everyone
for your generous and thoughtful care during this
time of our fathers passing. Food, cards, calls,
and prayers were very much appreciated. We
are comforted by your kindness.
Special thanks to Dave Pippin for
constructing the beautiful wooden casket
that dad wanted. To Leonard Swenson,
Colleen Thompson, Ruth Myhre, and Marlene
McVee for his special request songs. To Pastor
Scott Hedegaard for the most fitting services, for
the burial and at the church. First Lutheran Ladies
for the nice refreshments. Mariah Holter Branson for
putting together the slide presentation. Jennifer Holter and Sydney Holter
for so very much help. Dan and all the grandsons that took so much heartfelt
care in laying Grandpa to rest. The VFW Post 3107 for the Military Honor
Guard, Taps and Flag Ceremony.

Gingerbread Houses are
as traditional as Christmas
trees and evergreen boughs.
Gingerbread has been baked
in Europe for centuries.
In some places, it was a
soft, delicately spiced cake; in
others, a crisp, flat cookie, and
in others, warm, thick, steamy-dark squares of
bread, it was almost always cut into shapes such
as men, women, stars or animals, and colorfully
decorated or stamped with a mold and dusted
with white sugar to make the impression visible.
Ginger was also discovered to have a
preservative effect when added to pastries and
bread, and this probably led to the development of
recipes for ginger cakes & cookies. Gingerbread
began spreading throughout Western Europe
at the end of the eleventh century, possibly
introduced by crusaders returning from wars in
the Eastern Mediterranean.
Come and decorate your own gingerbread
house on Thursday, December 15th at 6:00
p.m. For decorating fun, attend Monday night
to create your masterpiece from a prebuilt
gingerbread house. Creativity will be unlimited
as the houses are decorated.
This is a great activity for families,
grandparents and grandchildren, husbands
and wives or even groups of youth. Everyone is
invited to participate and make memories this
Christmas season. There is a $15 supplies fee for
each house. Please contact the Valley County
Extension Office to preregister for this class at
228-6241.

What does La Nia have in store for northeast Montana?

A La Nia was officially
declared this fall; however, it
is predicted to remain weak
with a possible transition
back to neutral conditions
later this winter.
A La Nia develops
when
sea-surface
temperatures
in
the
equatorial Pacific Ocean
are cooler than average for
an extended period of time.
This affects the location of
jet streams, causing impacts
in North America.
The most notable
impacts occur in the winter,
when the wind patterns
in the atmosphere are
strongest. The typical La
Nia winter weather pattern
brings the polar jet stream
into Alaska, then plunging
into the central and eastern
U.S. This path can bring
below-normal temperatures
into the northern U.S.,
especially the northern
Rockies across the northern
Plains and into the Great
Lakes. Meanwhile, the
southern Plains often are
left warm and dry.
The Pacific jet stream

The image above shows the typical pattern in the winter during La Nia
events. The polar jet stream tends to traverse right through the Missouri
Basin region, making it the dividing line between cold and warm air masses.
This means that colder conditions could be in store for areas of the upper
Basin, while the southern Plains could be warm and dry.
tends to track close to the
Pacific Northwest, bringing
increased
chances
for
moisture there. Finally, odds
increase slightly for wetterthan-normal conditions in
the Ohio River Valley.
For
the
Missouri
Basin, this typically means

region B tags were once
again available this year.
Antelope,
whose
general season ended on
Nov. 13, showed numbers
that were 27% above 2015,
but were still 68% below
the long-term average. 98
antelope were brought by
the check station this year.
For the year, 35 elk
were brought by the check
station, which is the same
as last year but still slightly
below
the
long-term
average.
For the five weeks that
the check station was open,
the pheasant harvest of 738
birds is below last year (-2%)
and the long-term average
(-14%). Sharp-tailed grouse
(85 birds) harvest is down
from last year, and down
from the long-term average.
Hungarian
partridge
harvest (104 birds) is below
last years numbers, but still
largely above the long-term
average.

Overall, it appeared to
be a good season for hunters
this year, said Hemmer.
We sure appreciate and
enjoy visiting with the
hunters that come by the
check station, and its great
to see the smile on their
faces after a successful
hunt.
