HB564

Montana HB564 requires hunters to report deer and elk hunting activity, offering bonuses for timely reporting and imposing fees for noncompliance.

Montana HB564 mandates that individuals with deer or elk hunting licenses report their hunting activity to the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. This includes details such as harvest success, hunting district locations, and dates of hunting. Hunters who submit their reports by February 15 of the license year can earn a bonus point for either a deer or elk. Failure to report by the end of the license year results in an administrative fee ranging from $5 to $50.
