MONTANA FISH, WILDLIFE AND PARKS
HELENA – A law passed during the 2013 Montana Legislative session allows individuals to donate wild game and help feed people in need. Contributions from your kill will help nonprofit groups distribute game to the Montana Food Bank Network, according to Ron Aasheim, spokesman for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Hunters who legally harvest big game during the hunting season can donate their meat for no cost or processing fees. Only legally harvested or confiscated deer, elk, antelope, moose and wild buffalo may be donated. No road kill can be donated. Hunters can deliver their big game to the nearest participating meat processor and the ground venison will then be distributed to Montanans in need through Montana Food Bank Network’s partner agencies.
If a hunter desires to retain some of the meat, the meat processor will take a photocopy of the carcass tag to remain with the donated meat, for inspection by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. The original hunting license must stay with the hunter’s meat.
To assist with processing charges, a hunter who applies for or purchases a deer, antelope, elk, or wild buffalo license may donate $1 or more in addition to the price of each license to Hunters Against Hunger. These contributions will help pay for butchering and distribution of the processed game.
Participation by meat processors and hunters is the key to success for feeding hungry Montanans this season. Visit mfbn.org/hunters-against-hunger or contact Jeff Gutierrez at the Montana Food Bank Network at (406) 721-3825, ext. 232 for more information about the Hunters Against Hunger program.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
