Also, don't forget you can also access your licenses, tags, and permits on the app - it also works without cell service, which is always helpful.
Below, you'll find which applications are due under their respective due dates according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
April 1 Deadline Deer and Elk Permits
- Nonresident Big Game Combination Licenses
- Black Bear Permits
- Paddlefish (White Tag)
May 1 Deadline Bighorn Sheep Permits
- Bison Permits
- Moose Permits

June 1 Deadline Antelope / Antelope B Permits
- B Licenses (Deer B, Elk B)

It's important to note that the process is a tad bit different for nonresidents and residents. That said, Montana FWP says applicants "have the option to reapply for the same offerings as last year with just a simple click, eliminating the need to search through previous applications."
Not too shabby! Happy Applying! I mean - HAPPY HUNTING!
