4,300-acre Rocky Mountain Front ranch to be placed in conservation easement from Tribune Staff of Great Falls Tribune.

DUPUYER -- Some of the best grizzly bear habitat on the Rocky Mountain Front has now been protected from future development by a Nature Conservancy conservation easement. The agreement covers the 4,354-acre Hager Ranch west of Dupuyer. Leased by cattle operators Mark and Joy Hitchcock, it's eight miles north of the Blackleaf Wildlife Management Area and close to other conservation-easement-protected private properties, including the Boone and Crockett Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch.

This is rather close to where I grew up: check out the road to there from where I grew up.
