GLASGOW, Mont. (NMB) – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says that their 2021 winter and spring aerial surveys of deer across northeastern Montana indicate above-average numbers for mule deer and stable populations of white-tailed deer.
With that in mind, Region 6 FWP biologists are encouraging hunters to help manage herds by utilizing the numerous anterless deer license opportunities.
Beyond the either-sex general deer license (known as “A” tags), many options are available to obtain additional anterless deer licenses (known as “B” tags). Both mule and white-tailed deer licenses can be acquired through the drawing, surplus drawing list, over-the-counter, and surplus over-the-counter.
Applications for Deer B drawings are due June 1st, the surplus license list opens June 21st, while over-the-counter and surplus over-the-counter licenses can be purchased starting August 9th.
For any questions on licenses, refer to the 2021 deer, elk, and antelope regulations or call your local FWP office (Glasgow: 228-3700, Havre: 265-6177).
