Montana hunters can now turn to FWP online to plan big game hunting trips. FWP’s"Interactive Hunt Planner" allows users to select a species to hunt and then quickly provides information from Montana’s Big Game Hunting Regulations and easy-to-use databases. The planner displays hunting districts against Montana’s new digital highway map. Additional options provide topographic maps and land-ownership maps that can also show big-game species distributions. The hunt planner’s mapping power was developed in partnership with the Natural Resource Information System in Helena. Data on harvest statistics, special-drawing statistics, information on harvest quotas, and special hunting-district opening and closing dates associated with specific hunting areas are also available. The planner is organized by species including: antelope, bighorn sheep, deer, elk, moose, black bear and mountain goats. "We designed this interactive program with the hunter’s needs in mind," said Janet Hess-Herbert, leader of FWP’s website team."We think it will be a useful and educational tool for hunters and others interested in Montana’s wildlife." The Interactive Hunt Planner is free and can be accessed at fwp.state.mt.us.
