"The mission of FWP's hunter education programs is to perpetuate Montana's hunting heritage by educating individuals in the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for safe, ethical, and responsible behavior."
Hunting is still very much a way of life in this state and Montanans are proud of their hunting heritage.
Big Sky country boasts more hunters per capita than any other state in the nation. Bountiful landscapes, clean water and air, and few inhabitants all make this an ideal place for wildlife and hunters to roam. Big game populations are at or near record numbers and hunting access is good. Combine all of these factors, and you have all the components in place for some very special hunting.
This untamed and rugged country, however, can be unforgiving. We urge you to plan your hunt carefully and to always keep safety in mind. Being prepared and knowing what to expect are key ingredients for a memorable hunt. Please study all the information in the student manual and take the time before your hunt to carefully review Montana’s hunting regulations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your hunter education instructor or contact any FWP office.
Hunters have worked hard to conserve Montana’s wildlife populations and champion its hunting traditions. Keeping this heritage alive requires all hunters to be safe, legal, and responsible.
We wish you a lifetime of safe and enjoyable hunting. Please contact us with any of your hunter education questions.
