In Montana, successful hunts often rely on good relationships and positive interactions with private landowners. Many of Montana’s game species depend on private lands for habitat. A significant amount of the hunting opportunity we have is due in large part to the work and stewardship of private landowners.
Remember:
Hunting private land is a privilege.
Respecting private land and building relationships with landowners protects hunting access opportunities.
Ethical, fair-chase hunting protects the future of hunting.
Ask first to hunt, fish, and recreate on private land.
