 Montana is famous for its hunting with long and liberal hunting seasons, so many species to hunt and plenty of wide open spaces in which to hunt them. Hunting season begins in the first days of September with some upland bird hunting and archery seasons for mule and white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope and elk. Backcountry hunting districts open for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat in mid-September followed by waterfowl season in the first days of October. The pheasant season and rifle antelope seasons open by mid-October and the rifle seasons for deer and elk start in the final days of October. Almost all big game hunting ends on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Upland bird seasons close by the end of December. Upland bird and waterfowl licenses can be purchased by residents and non-residents over the counter at sporting good dealers. Montana residents can purchase most big game licenses there, too, except for antelope, moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat licenses which are obtained through license drawings. Nonresident hunters must apply early in the year to obtain a limited number of deer and elk combination licenses. For more information, click on the links to the left to get to pages on the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Web site on regulations and licensing. Fishing in Montana can take you to alpine lakes high above treeline in the mountains of the western portions of the state or to adventures on prairie rivers and reservoirs on the eastern prairies. High country fishing generally means cold-water species like cutthroat trout, brook trout, rainbows, browns and grayling. The state has hundreds of miles of blue-ribbon trout streams just waiting to be waded or floated. And some of our bigger lakes and reservoirs offer lake trout and other trout species. In eastern Montana, you're more likely to rub shoulders with walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike or even paddlefish anglers. Montana has 89 fish species in all. You can learn more about them and where to find them by clicking on the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks links to the left. |
