Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks reminds all hunters that May 1 is the deadline to apply for the moose, bighorn sheep, bison and mountain goat licenses available through a special drawing.

Applying for drawings for special big game hunting permits and licenses is a lot easier these days for hunters who apply using FWP's automated licensing online service at fwp.mt.gov . Application information is also available on the FWP website.

It is also convenient to purchase 2012 SuperTag chances online to enter the SuperTag Lottery. Eight lucky hunters will win a SuperTag license for the hunt of a lifetime. Among the eight hunts are one for a moose, a bighorn sheep, a mountain goat, an antelope, an elk, a deer, a bison, and a mountain lion. An unlimited number of chances can be purchased at $5 a chance. Proceeds go to enhance hunting access and boost enforcement.
