In order to hunt big game in Montana you must first possess a Montana big game license. Montana big game hunting licenses are issued for residents and non-residents at different rates, so be sure to specify the kind of license you require. In addition to the Montana big game license that is required, hunters looking to hunt Montana moose, bighorn sheep, antelope, bison, deer, or mountain goat will need a special hunting permit. The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks department awards both the Montana big game hunting licenses and the
special permits for hunting special kinds of big game.
After applying for the special permit to hunt special kinds of big game, you must wait to see if
you will win the special permit awarded through a drawing system.

After the drawing, if you were not one of the lucky ones to be awarded the special permit to hunt then you will be refunded the money you originally paid for the special permit.
