LAKE COUNTY — The deadline is Aug. 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 two 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 Aug. 31may 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.
