The Outstanding Hunter Behavior Program recognizes individuals who demonstrate exemplary or outstanding behavior consistent with the lessons taught in hunter education about safe, ethical, and responsible conduct. A person who receives this award is someone who makes others proud to be a hunter. Last year, the program recognized a rancher and hunter who grants free access to youth hunters; a father and son who displayed exemplary behavior during a cow elk hunt; and a hunter who was instrumental in busting a commercial poaching operation.
The One Shot Hunter Program builds on the basic hunter education program, is designed to help young hunters develop good hunting and shooting skills and prepare them for a lifetime of hunting. All you have to do is to try your best to take either an elk, deer, or antelope with a single shot fired from a gun (rifle or shotgun) and according to the hunter code.
The Bear Identification Program is intended to prevent mistaken killings of grizzly bears and help Montana maintain its black bear hunting season.
