Julie Padilla+FollowBozeman deer hunt extended to fight CWDWhite-tailed deer hunting season just got a big extension around Bozeman, and it’s all about tackling chronic wasting disease (CWD). With CWD cases suddenly jumping in our area, wildlife officials want to thin out the dense deer herds—some spots have over 60 deer per square mile! If you’re a hunter, this is your chance to help keep our local wildlife healthy and gather important data. The extended season runs through February 2026, but remember: public land is limited and landowner permission is a must. What do you think—will this move help control CWD, or are there better options? #News #Bozeman #CWD10Share

Sabrina Carrillo+FollowBozeman’s longest night: Remembering our neighborsSix members of Bozeman’s unhoused community were honored at a moving candlelight memorial on the year’s longest night—a powerful reminder of how harsh Montana winters can be for those without shelter. Even as some found housing before passing, the growing number of people experiencing homelessness in Gallatin Valley (now over 500) shows this crisis is getting worse. Fewer people attended this year’s memorial, raising concerns about awareness and empathy. What would it take for more of us to show up, listen, and help? How can we better support our neighbors facing these struggles? #Safety #Bozeman #Homelessness00Share
