Montana State Hunting License
Montana’s nonresident licensing system has changed. Beginning in 2011 the non-resident elk and deer licenses will be sold by computerized drawing. We anticipate a high success rate with the 2011 draw and feel that the 17,000 elk/deer combo pool of licenses will not be sold out. Once you book with Upper Canyon we take the worry out of applying for your license, we will assist you in completing your application. Applications for these licenses must be post marked on or before March 15th. We stronly encourage you to apply on-line to insure that the application is correct. Fish, Wildlife and Parks Special Licensing Department phone is 406-444-2950, or apply online application can be made at FWPs website: http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/ For a paper application go to http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/licenses/applications/default.html For on line Licensing (which we suggest doing) go to https://app.mt.gov/Als/Index
Party applications available for up to groups of five. Licenses must be complete and error free. The drawing will take place mid-April and licenses will be mailed to you in May.
