Before making Saturday plans, take a look at two timely notices: a morning run or walk in Libby, and a new clarification from Montana’s wildlife agency for visiting pheasant hunters.

Lead story

Start Saturday with Paint It Pink in Libby

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center lists its Paint It Pink 5K Fun Run/Walk for October 10, starting and finishing at the hospital. The program raises money for breast-cancer detection and treatment for people in the area. The organizer says participants will need to sign a consent form on race day.

Saturday, October 10, 10 a.m.: 5K start at Cabinet Peaks Medical Center, Libby.
October 10, 6 p.m.: separate Paint It Pink Bingo at Libby Memorial Center.

The brief

Check the land category before a pheasant trip

FWP’s October 8 release corrects an earlier notice and distinguishes pheasant dates for nonresident hunters by land type. The agency gives two different opening dates, depending on where a nonresident plans to hunt.

October 10: FWP lists private property outside hunting-access programs, with the landowner’s permission.
October 20: FWP lists public land and private property enrolled in its access programs, including Block Management.

Practical takeaway

Checked October 9: use the hospital’s event page to review registration details before going. For a hunting trip, read FWP’s complete clarification and linked regulations. These are dated source summaries; confirm arrangements and applicable restrictions before leaving.
