Hunting Season in Montana
As you know, Montana is the prime state for world class hunting, offering a wide selection of big game. Elk, deer, antelope, bison, black bear, mountain lion, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, moose, wild turkey—you name it, Montana has got some of the biggest and the wildest. Today, rifle hunting season for large game is well under way in Montana. With most big game seasons ending at the end of this month, and antelope season already ended, rifle season is almost over.

What’s special about Montana is that it has implemented a Block Management program that encourages private property owners, who tend to have the best vantage points, to give permission for public hunting on their land. This program provides nearly 7.8 million acres for fall hunts. There are many benefits of owning land in Montana, but one to consider if you love hunting, is hunting on your own land! Especially if you grow alfalfa. Montana alfalfa farmers would tell you all about how much big game love to wander through their fields.
