Deadline for mountain lion hunters is August 31
by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
August 24, 2011
The deadline is Wednesday, August 31 to purchase a mountain lion hunting license for the general season, or to apply for the special limited-entry license drawing.
Mountain lion hunters may either choose to apply for a special license available through the drawing that is valid only in certain hunting districts—or they may purchase a general mountain lion license. Hunters cannot do both. Mountain lion hunting in most Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 1 and 2 hunting districts will be only by special mountain lion licenses.
A general mountain lion license purchased over the counter after Aug. 31 may be obtained only at an FWP office or online at fwp.mt.gov under Online Services. Lion licenses purchased after August 31 may not be used until five days after the license is issued.
Mountain lion hunters can apply for a special license at fwp.mt.gov under Online Service, or they may apply at regional FWP office. Those who prefer to apply by mail can go to the FWP website on the Hunting page and click Licenses and Permits for a mail-in paper form.
