HELENA – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is asking for proposals from conservation organizations interested in conducting a competitive auction or lottery for 2027 mule deer, elk, mountain goat, antelope and swan licenses, or a competitive auction for 2027 bighorn sheep and Shiras moose licenses.
This is the first year that antelope and swan licenses are available for auction and lottery after Gov. Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 330 during the 2025 Legislative Session.
Organizations that demonstrate a commitment to the conservation of the species may submit a proposal to the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission for a license to be sold by auction or lottery.
Organizations must submit an independent species-specific proposal for each auction/lottery license requested. A proposal considering multiple species will not be considered by the commission.
