Trapping Licenses Now Available

HELENA – Montana Fish, WIldlife and Parks says nonresident and resident trapping licenses are now available to purchase at a Fish, Wildlife & Parks office, a License Ambassador location or online.
Trapping licenses are sold separately from other licenses, such as base hunting licenses and conservation licenses. If you’ve already purchased a base hunting license, it does not include a trapping license.
Bobcats are the only furbearer that may be hunted in Montana. Those who purchase a resident trapping license do not need to purchase a bobcat hunting license. However, those who plan only on hunting bobcats need to purchase a bobcat hunting license.
To purchase a Montana resident trapping license, residents must complete a Montana trapper education course or have purchased a trapping license in at least three prior years (in Montana or another state). Residents must be at least 12 years old to purchase a trapping license.
