Hunters interested in participating in game-damage hunts on private land or possible management seasons this year have until July 15 to register online with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
Prospective hunters must register for the hunt rosters online at fwp.mt.gov . On the Hunting page, click Game Damage Roster. Internet-based registration can be completed on personal computers, at most public libraries, and at any FWP office. To register, hunters will need their ALS number.
Game damage occurs when animals such as elk, deer, and antelope concentrate on private farms and ranches and consume crops. FWP’s game damage hunt rules are designed to respond to the needs of landowners who provide free public hunting during the general hunting season, yet who could nevertheless suffer losses due to wildlife damage without this additional management tool. Management seasons typically occur on a larger scale than game damage hunts.
A final game damage roster, randomly generated from all the online registrations, will be posted by Aug. 1. on the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov.
The hunts, if they occur, could take place anytime from Aug. 15 through Feb. 15, 2011.
SUPERTAG DEADLINES COMING IN JULY
Eight lucky SuperTag hunters will win the chance to hunt a moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, elk, deer, antelope, mountain lion and bison in any legal district open for that species. You could be one of the winners this year—just purchase your $5 SuperTag chance. The deadline to purchase SuperTags for the moose, sheep and goat hunts is July 1. SuperTag chances on the deer, elk, antelope, bison and mountain lion hunts must be purchased by July 29. SuperTag lottery proceeds go to enhance hunting access and boost FWP enforcement efforts.
SuperTags are available at all FWP offices, license providers, or online at fwp.mt.gov using FWP’s online licensing service. To purchase a SuperTag, a 2010 conservation license is needed.
