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 (ALS);
• Mail in a paper application.
Special licenses and permit applications can be completed online by going to the FWP home page at fwp.mt.gov under the Quick Access menu. Or, go to http://www.discoveringmontana.com/, click on Online Services, then on Hunting/Fishing Licenses.
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.
Paper applications are available from FWP regional offices, license providers, and online at fwp.mt.gov, click on Hunting and then Obtain A License.
