Hunting
Hunters anxious to prepare for Montana’s spring turkey gobbler season can obtain an application for the special spring turkey permit drawing by going on the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Web site at fwp.mt.gov beginning Feb. 16.
Spring turkey season begins April 10. Residents must have a 2010 conservation and upland game bird license and nonresidents will need a conservation license to purchase a turkey license.
In addition to opportunities to hunt male turkey in most of eastern Montana’s general turkey hunting areas, spring male turkey permits are available through special drawings in areas of western Montana.
Details on spring turkey hunting in the general hunting areas and special permit areas and how to apply are available in the 2010 Spring Turkey Hunting Regulations, found on the FWP Web site at fwp.mt.gov beginning Feb 24.
