About 10 years ago, I caught one in the headlights going over a low pass about 50 miles from here. They have a real odd humping gait. I returned the next day with a camera and heavy sidearm. Spent the next 2 days prowling around and never got another look, or even saw signs of activity. I think they may have quite a range.
In Montana they are managed as a fur bearing species. There are quotas in a good number of districts. Here they can be trapped, but I don't think you can shoot them. There has been a study going on around Glacier Park of them for some years now. I spoke to a biologist at some length about what they were finding out. Very interesting creatures. They have radio-collared some. Males often will really cover some ground. One covered nearly 400 miles in 3 days over some incredibley rugged country.
You might contact MT Fish and Wildlife for details of quotas and districts. For certain, it won't be a casual hunt.
