FWP Region 1: Harvest activity continues across NW MT as general season progresses
Northwest Montana check stations recorded 269 white-tailed deer, 48 mule deer bucks and 32 elk among 4,832 hunters through the third weekend. Harvest success was 7.2%, down from 8.3% in 2025, likely because of warm weather. Cooler conditions and the rut may improve results.

Bozeman man says $10,000 was returned after identity theft scam
BOZEMAN, Mont. — A Bozeman man said he got back the $10,000 he lost from his Wells Fargo checking account after an identity theft scam. Lloyd Waldron contacted NonStop Local at the beginning of September for its Help Me Ben segment after he said the bank told him it could not help him. The station reported Waldron said he worked through the phone system and spoke with the bank in person but still did not get a resolution. NonStop Local shared Waldron’s story in September and included tips on avoiding scams. After that report aired, multiple people contacted the newsroom with similar experiences and said they got their money back. NonStop Local's Michael Teeple returned to Bozeman for the follow-up after reporting the original story in September. He said Waldron spent weeks wondering if the money was gone for good after he said his identity was stolen and the money was wired away. "It was tough, it was very hard, gut-wrenching, just high stress," Waldron said. Waldron later called Teeple with an update. "And so, on a Wednesday, I went back online and looked at my account, and found out the money had been put back into the account," Waldron
