National Wildlife Refuge Week October 14-20, 2018
Visiting Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge in Wyoming
can be such a delight: walking the paths, listening to the
birds and keeping your eyes open for whatever might
appear around the next bend in the trail. It could be a
sandhill crane dance party, elk splashing across streams
or maybe even a supremely confident badger with wits
as sharp as its claws. National Wildlife Refuges are full
of inspiration. Also in conjunction with National Wildlife

Refuge Week, did you know? It’s “Happy Alaska Day!”
On this day in 1867, the Territory of Alaska was formally
transferred from Russia to the United States, and in
1917, Alaska Day was created to celebrate this historic
moment. From stunning mountains to winding rivers that
snake through valleys, there are over 222 million acres of
public lands in Alaska and much of it is managed by the
Interior Department. (badger photo by Tom Koerner)

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he

was mending fences out on the range.
Three weeks later, a badger walked up to him
carrying the Bible in its mouth (yeah, the badger on
today’s front page!). The cowboy couldn’t believe his
eyes. He took the precious book out of the badger’s
mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It’s
a miracle!”
“Not really,” said the badger. “Your name is written

Hi-Line Sportsmen seeking participants for deer-hunting initiative
Members of the Hi-Line Sportsmen are seeking
beginning Valley County hunters interested in teaming up
with experienced mentors to learn the basics of deer hunting
this November.
The initiative is part of Hi-Line Sportsmen’s “Field to
Freezer” campaign designed to harvest deer and contribute
venison to hunt participants as well as the local food bank.
The mentoring portion of the project will pair volunteer
mentors from the Hi-Line Sportsmen with beginning hunters
of any age. The beginning hunters are welcome to do the
harvesting themselves, with the assistance of their mentors, or
they may simply tag along on a hunt with a mentor to observe
a hunt in action. Mentors will help educate the beginning
hunters with everything from gear to shot selection to field
dressing and butchering of the harvested animals.
The first-time hunters are encouraged to take their meat
home, or they can donate their harvest to the local food bank
for distribution to local households in need of wholesome
protein.
“Deer densities on the landscape are currently in really
good shape, especially mule deer,” says Drew Henry, Valley
County wildlife biologist for FWP and also a member of the
Hi-Line Sportsmen.
The Field to Freezer campaign is designed to capitalize
on the above-number of deer in the county this fall. Hi-Line
Sportsmen members plan to use surplus deer tags to harvest
does and donate the meat to the Valley County Food Bank.
The mentoring campaign takes the initiative one step further,
serving as an invitation to beginning hunters who might
not have the means or assistance to get out in the field by
themselves this season.
“On a national basis but also locally, we’re seeing the
number of hunters in decline,” says Andrew McKean, a
founding member of Hi-Line Sportsmen. “The number one
reason people don’t hunt or stop hunting is that they don’t
have someone to take them or show them how. We hope to
solve that by helping with both of those needs.”
As a member of the county commissioner team, I will:
• Insure county spending and budgeting are
straightforward and transparent.
• Identify opportunities to make our tax dollars go
further.
• Mitigate risks that have social and economic impact to
our communities.
• Focus on county-wide strategic planning for our future.
“ I would be honored to serve as your Valley County Commissioner.”

PO Box 431, Glasgow, MT 59230
The focus for the November hunts is on antlerless deer, but
participants can use whatever valid tags they possess. If they
don’t hold a valid deer tag, they are encouraged to accompany
their mentors on the hunt and to learn about the basics of
deer hunting. Either way, the mentors are committed to serve
as unpaid guides, assisting with all aspects of the hunt, from
finding a place to go to locating deer to making the shot, field
dressing, and converting the animal to healthy, wholesome
venison.
“That’s the definition of a mentor, to serve as a trusted
guide who can answer questions, offer assistance, and help
with all aspects of a new experience,” says McKean. “Glasgow
and Valley County are full of hunting mentors, and it’s our goal
to activate them to help a new generation of hunters.”
If you are interested in participating, either as a mentor or
as a hunter, contact either Andrew McKean at 406-263-5442
or Drew Henry at 406-230-0133 or leave a message on Hi-Line
Sportsmen’s Facebook page. The Hi-Line Sportsmen will be
compiling rosters and pairing mentors with hunters over the
next month. Mentors will be in contact with their apprentices
to schedule sight-in and hunt days. Additionally, the Hi-Line
Sportsmen and Fish, Wildlife & Parks plan a community
sight-in day on Sunday, Oct. 14, to ensure that hunting rifles
are safe and accurate and that all participants can demonstrate
safe gun-handling skills.
At the end of the hunting season, organizers plan to host
a wild-game feast where all participants can come together,
enjoy a meal, and swap stories and pictures of their experience.

Letter to the Buzz
Why Tom is getting this vote
In response to the letter to the titled “Supporting Joe
for Sheriff ” that appeared in the October 16th issue of the
BS Buzz.
Many points were raised as why the writers don’t
think Tom Boyer is qualified to be our next sheriff. They
talked about Tom being supported by many of the former
Valley County Sheriffs or as they put it the “sheriff ’s club”.
In response to that I would say those who have sat in the
chair have a very good idea as to what the job entails and
what qualities make a good candidate. That fact that so
many think Tom is the person for the job make me wonder
why they think Joe isn’t.
The writers also point out that one needs a good
knowledge of the Valley County road and trail system.
Really? That’s how we pick a sheriff now? Because one
knows the roads better than the other person? Skills like
working as a nurse in the fast paced environment of the
medical field where a wrong decision can have life or death
consequences is less important than knowing some two
track road. What about managing multi-million dollar
budgets? Because the sheriff is responsible for using our
taxpayer dollars to run the department. Does knowing
how to take a backroad from Hinsdale to Opheim trump
that skill base? The writers make it sound like Tom is a city
slicker lost in Middle of Nowhere Montana.
The truth is quite the opposite. Do you know Tom is
a working Valley County Sheriff Deputy right now. He has
been working nights this whole campaign so that during
the day when we are all awake he can connect with us and
explain his ideas about where the department is now and
what direction he wants to take it. Then come evening he
puts on his uniform and works for us while we all sleep.
I would argue if you can navigate Valley County roads at
night you have a pretty good handle on things.
Next the writers bring up the Glasgow Elks public forum
where Joe Horn’s daughters tried to tell our community why
they don’t think their father should be elected Sheriff. They
say several “un-truths” were voiced there.
Unfortunately I can say I was at that this event. I
witnessed the events unfold. I witnessed the laughter,
the name calling, the total disrespect of two women who
came of their own freewill to tell us about how their father
treated them during their childhood. I still feel ashamed at
how they were treated.
The writers say that because the daughters attended a
“Meet and Greet” the night before held for Tom that this was
all coordinated by Tom. Maybe they attended the “Meet and
Greet” to show their support for Tom because they really
have an issue with their father being elected Sheriff?
Now a reasonable person would have to ask why
all of this? Why would they come? What is really so
important that they drive all this way to tell us? Many
people attended the forum to hear the answer to that
very question. Unfortunately the way the Jerry Springer
episode unfolded they didn’t really get a chance to tell the
story as to why.
But a couple things stood out to me in between the
name calling a verbal assaults. The first thing that stood
out was they were asked were they physically and sexually
abused? The answer was a clear yes.
Second thing that stood out was when they told a
story of being beaten by a belt because of something bad
they did. The crowd at the forum became unruly at this
charge. The crowd said we all were beaten as kids when
we did something bad. A swat to the butt, lashing with a
belt, a paddle to the backside the crowd said was a normal
part of childhood. Yes, but if one really listened to the
daughters story they went on to say that they were kept
home from school by their parents for a week out of fear
that someone would find out. To me this crosses a line
between punishment for bad behavior and abuse. When
a parent consciously thinks they need to keep their child
home from school out of fear that someone will find out
the parent knows they have gone too far.
Now do we know the whole truth? Doubtful, will we
ever know. It was a long time ago. Were they lying? Maybe
they drove all this way to pull one over on us? I don’t know
it is possible, heck anything is possible, stranger things
have happened. But to those who say they know for sure
that the daughters are lying, I ask how do you know? Were
you present during those times?
But what the forum did raise to me is questions as to
whether Joe Horn has the character to be our next sheriff.
People who know him says he does. I don’t know maybe
he does? Maybe he is a changed man? I have only met him
once and that was when he took me out on his airboat
to evacuate some people who were affected by our severe
flooding a few years back. He was a nice guy then and he
was definitely helping out people in need.
Did he do those terrible things that his daughters
allude to? I will never know for sure but with the other
recent developments that also are affecting our sheriff
department I think a questionable past raises red flags for
me. I want my kids to be able to trust the authority that law
enforcement yields when they are in a time of need. I have
to believe in that trust so that when I’m not around they
