Montana Non Resident Over the Counter?

[Mussgrass]

I am looking for opportunities for non-resident OTC tags in Montana. Is there any big game that NR's don't need to apply for?

Montana has the best opportunity in all 50 states for non-res hunters. unlimited bighorn sheep tags, but you still have to apply. guaranteed draw though

Antlerless licenses are about the only OTC opportunity for big game.

Under current law, you can purchase 1 antlerless deer license w/o a big game combo or up to two elk antlerless based on issuance within a district/region.

So I can just go to any place that sells licenses and buy a NR hunting license and an antlerless deer tag?

You will need a base hunting license, conservation license & a specific uni license for antlerless.

Have ever been a resident of Montana and held a hunting license and have family living in Montana?

Not sure if this is a serious question or not, but no, I have never lived in Montana or held a hunting license from there. I do have a family member there now.

It was a serious question.

Not sure. Sounds kind of hot right now, and the cartels are a little sidetracked as of yesterday.

@Mussgrass if youre talking about hunting 2025 - you still have time to apply for buck/bull tags.

Ben already hit the antlerless tags.

Some of the elk B tags are OTC some you apply for in June.

Be advised if you buy a bear tag, some spring units are under quota/sub-quotas and will fill rapidly.

Leave it to @BigHornRam to bring stupidity to this thread.

I take it, hedgehogs are the latest proxy for gerbils.

Even if the sky is falling may as well enjoy the ride. Its application season won’t be long now

What has HT devolved to. Wow, simply wow. This guy created a simple and honestly valuable hunting question. Reading the MT hunting regs and following their website isn't great. I don't blame him for just going here to get a start on his research. Yet many of you have decided to work on breaking this thread down.

@Big Fin or @Lostinthewoods I think some longer term bans are required. Post something political, even if attempted humor, and get a month long or more ban. Time to clean this place up.
