(Glasgow) Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has reduced the bighorn sheep license quota in hunting district (HD) 622 for the upcoming license year. Both the either-sex and ewe license have been reduced to one for the 2025 season
FWP says this was a proactive decision based on population decline, which may be linked to a disease outbreak.
Hunters first reported unhealthy sheep in HD 622 in September of 2024, and the five 2024 ram license holders reported seeing 80 percent fewer sheep than sheep hunters have reported in the past. In addition, other observations by area landowners and FWP staff have also noted fewer sheep
