Many hunting opportunities exist in Montana for hunters with disabilities. Hunters are encouraged to check the regulations for special permits and other available opportunities. Many state-owned properties, conservation easements, and block management areas provide excellent hunting opportunities. Some private landowners are willing to allow disabled hunters access, and some national forests allow disabled hunters access behind locked gates. Due to annual changes, disabled hunters are encouraged to call local Fish, Wildlife & Parks regional offices and individual national forests for specific information.
