Hunters—Get A Head Start On Applications For Special Licenses And Permits

Print

Montana hunters are urged to beat the rush and apply early for their 2005 special hunting licenses and permits.

Moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat special applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on May 2 or postmarked by May 2.   Applications for deer B, elk A-9, and antelope licenses and special deer or elk permits are due June 1.

To submit applications big game hunters have three options:

*      Use the new Online Licensing Internet service;

*     Go to an FWP regional office where a completed application can be entered into the Automated Licensing System;

*       Mail in a paper application.

To use the online licensing option, applicants need to enter their ALS number exactly as it appears on their ALS license. Applicants will also need a MasterCard or Visa credit card. A convenience fee of $1.25 plus 2 percent of the purchase price will be added to the total purchase price. Online applicants receive immediate confirmation that an application has been received and entered into the drawing.
