Moose, Sheep, Goat License Deadline Is May 1

Print

The application deadline for licenses to hunt moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goats this fall is May 1. The deadline for applying for antelope, special elk and Deer B Licenses and deer permits is June 1. Hunters should remember when filling out their applications that since 1991 those who have been successful in drawing a license for a moose, sheep or goat must wait for seven years before they can apply for the same species again. Also, anyone who received a limited either-sex or legal ram license is prohibited from applying for any limited or unlimited sheep license again for seven years. The one exception is bighorn sheep hunters who receive an unlimited license or limited license to take a ewe (female) sheep are not restricted from applying again the next year. Regulations governing the hunting of all these species appear in the Big Game Hunting Regulations published by FWP, which are now available at license agents and FWP offices. Application and hunting regulations are also on FWP’s web site at fwp.state.mt.us. Click on the Hunting section and scroll down to "Hunting Regulations."
