Officials will consider banning motorized boats on Bull River
Wildlife officials will consider new rules regulating the use of motorized boats on the Bull River south of Libby, following a petition from a local landowner.
The Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission voted Wednesday to accept a petition calling for the regulation of motorized watercraft on the Bull River in western Montana. The vote initiates a public comment and review process, after which commissioners will decide whether to adopt new rules.
“I’ve been playing on the Bull River since I was a boy, and now my kids, my grandkids. We all spend a lot of time by or in the river,” said the petition’s author, Paul Overman. “It’s been a quiet peaceful safe river for years.”
