HELENA, Mont. (NMB) – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has announced several changes to the way surplus drawing licenses and permits are handled.
Hunters now need to sign up for licenses and permits through MyFWP on the FWP website. The resulting Surplus License List will be randomized. Hunters at the top of the list will be contacted via email with instructions to finalize their purchase.
Hunters must finalize the purchase of the license/permit within the time-frame specified in the email, otherwise, your opportunity will be offered to the next hunter on the randomized list. FWP may offer opportunities that have not sold out through the Surplus License List to over-the-counter customers at our internal and external license sale providers.
The time-frames to sign up for Surplus lists are below:
- Deer & Elk Permits, Deer B & Elk License: July 21st-August 7th
- Antelope, Antelope B, Swan, Crane, Special Mountain Lion: August 12th-24th
- Nonresident Hound Handler License: September 16th-28th
Nonresidents who hold a NR Native license, Youth Combo license, or NR College Student Combination license may purchase Deer B and Elk B licenses at half price.
For more information, contact the FWP licensing office at 444-2950 or fwplic@mt.gov.
