non resident hunting in MT.

[island guy]

Just curious. I'm not planning a montana trip, just interested in seeing how things change. 37 years ago, a buddy and I each shot our 1st deer in Montana on a trip with his Dad. IF I remember correctly, you could pick up a doe license almost anywhere. Did not have to apply ahead or anything else.

What does it take now a days for a non-resident to get a license? Like I said, just curious.

When I was 15 I hunted whitetail in Montana. I simply went into a general store and bought a tag. Easy as that. I know that you have to apply to get a buck tag. I think it is hard for even residents to get a buck tag there.

Sorry guys not that simple any more.

You need to go to the Montana Fish and Game HSOforum at http//fwp.state.mt.us. there you can find all your information.

My buddy hunts there pretty much every fall, they just buy thier doe tags over the counter in Miles City, you do have to apply for buck tags however. Unless it changed since this fall, that is what they do.

If your gonna hunt whitetail just stay in MN and shoot 6 of them. Save the trip to montana fro elk or moose.

Why would anyone want to shoot 6 deer??

Im saying there is enough deer here to shoot. You don't need to go to Montana to do it. Keep your money flowing through the MN system if your gonna shoot deer. Go to Montana if you want to shoot elk or moose or mulies.

I go to Montana every other year to visit Mom. I don't hunt big game there anymore, but I do hunt waterfowl and I do a day trip on the Bighorn for Brownies... use to be 7 dollars to hunt waterfowl, now it is about 75 for non resident license.
