Deadline Reminder for Hunting Applications

HELENA – The deadline to apply for moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat and bison licenses is Friday, May 1; the deadline to apply for elk B, deer B and antelope is Monday, June 1. All applications must be completed online, at a License Ambassador location or at an FWP office. Most FWP offices with license sales are open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.   

FWP offers several tools to help hunters navigate the application process. The application process is different for residents and nonresidents, but FWP has created instructional videos to help with both kinds of customers. 

Hunters can also take advantage of the MyFWP mobile app. The app holds and displays licenses, permits and E-Tags, which can be downloaded and used in the field without cell service. To create a My FWP account, visit the MyFWP login page.   

Applicants have the option to reapply for the same offerings as last year with just a simple click, eliminating the need to search through previous applications.
