Require hunter reporting of hunting activity

HB 133 would require hunters in Montana who purchase a license for game animals to report their hunting activity to the state wildlife department before obtaining a new license the following year. This bill directly affects all hunters buying game animal licenses, mandating pre-purchase reporting to track hunting participation. The department would have authority to establish reporting systems, deadlines, and penalties through rules. The bill was withdrawn by the House on February 4, 2025, before it could become law, and was not enacted.
