Legislation authorizes the Fish & Wildlife Commission to provide for the auction of one moose license each year. This license authorizes the hunter to take an antlered bull moose in any open district of his/her choice. If this license holder is successful, the moose will not be counted against the district quota. License holders may hunt only in areas open to moose hunting.

In addition to the Montana Govenor’s Moose tag, we are pleased to announce a partnership with SITKA and Kenetrek Boots for a “hunter’s system” valued at $1,859 to the winner of the online/ in person auction that will be held on Saturday, January 13th at the Big Hearts Under the Big Sky banquet.
