Mineral County Library offers hunting resources

As if you didn’t know--hunting season is here!

It’s fun, beneficial physically and puts meat on many tables. But safety is of primary importance.

The Mineral County Public Library, through information provided by the State Library and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, is again making available some basic instruction for hunters.

The “Hunting Companion” is a streamlined access point for the basic information every hunter needs for a successful hunt. It can be found at http://msl.mt.gov/hunting.

The “Hunting Companion” is designed to provide answers to four questions that hunters ask, including:

* What can I hunt?

* When can I hunt?

* Where can I hunt? And

* How do I hunt?

The Hunting Companion is part of a large project by the Montana State Library that will condense all of Montana’s most important geographic and natural resources information and make it available in easy-to-access subject guides, such as hunting, fishing, mining, water resources, and farming and ranching.

Guna K. Chaberek, county library director, said she sees real benefit in basic hunting advice - “Anything that helps keep hunters safer and enhances the experience of hunting is a good thing,” she said.

Mineral County Public Library at Superior has 4 public computers and wi-fi capability for laptops. A selection of VHS tapes on hunting and fishing is available for checkout, as are numerous books.

The library at Superior is open from 10:30 to 6 PM, Mondays, Tuesdays,Thursdays, and Fridays.
