Revising laws related to bird dog training licenses
This bill amends Montana law governing Class D-5 licenses for training bird hunting dogs. It requires applicants to report the number of dogs they will train on their application, with that number printed on the license. The Fish and Wildlife Commission gains authority to regulate the total number of such licenses issued. The changes directly affect individuals training hunting dogs with wild game birds (not captive-raised), clarifying reporting requirements and adding commission oversight for license availability. The bill does not alter fees, youth provisions, or rules for training with captive birds.
