Fall Black Beat Hunters Must Purchase License By August 31

Print

Montana’s 2001 black bear licenses are composed of a carcass tag and hide tag. The carcass tag must be attached to the carcass of the bear and the hide tag must be attached to the hide. Bear hunters should immediately validate the hide tag and attach it to the hide. The carcass tag, which has no validation slots, must be attached to the carcass when the hide is removed.

Fall black bear season in Montana begins September 15 in most areas of the state open to bear hunting. Fall season dates for other bear management units are available in the 2001-2002 Montana Black Bear Hunting Regulations available at all FWP regional offices and the Helena headquarters office.
