Wildlife | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 7 years, 3 months AGO
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks will conduct the 2018 deer and elk permit drawing the week of April 23.
Results will be available after the drawing is complete.
The drawing was initially set to happen this week, but to ensure a mistake-free drawing, FWP licensing staff is taking time this week to run a mock drawing and double-check application data.
To see results online, applicants must have a MyFWP account. To sign up for an account go to fwp.mt.gov/myfwp.
People with questions pertaining to the drawing or other licensing issues can call 406-444-2950.
