LC 3993 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to shed hunting on wildlife management areas

This bill establishes a $50 nonresident license for shed hunting (collecting naturally shed antlers) on Montana's wildlife management areas. It directly affects nonresidents who wish to participate in this activity. The bill creates a three-tier penalty system for violations: a warning for a first offense, fines up to twice the license cost plus possible license forfeiture for a second offense, and fines up to $500 plus permanent license forfeiture for a third offense. The bill also defines "shed hunt" and "shed hunting" and amends related sections of Montana law to implement these changes.
