Dumb Montana Question
« on: July 28, 2010, 09:30:37 PM »
 If you have a Montana general deer elk combo tag and an archery permit, can you still hunt the rifle deer season as well?

yes, but it will cost extra and you have to have proof of archery hunting in another state.

 Think you misunderstood. I have the archery permit already for MT and paid the fee. I also drew a general combo tag. Just wondering if I can hunt the general rifle season.

 Thanks

No, you can't hunt both.  You should turn in the general deer/elk combo so I can go hunting this year.  :)

Yes you can hunt both.  Your archery "permit" is simply a stamp that is sold to allow you to hunt on your general deer/elk tag during the archery season.  Montana does not make you choose your weapon like Washington does.  But if you do not fill your general deer/elk tag during the archery season, then you just wait until rifle season and pick up a gun and go hunting.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Thank You for this thread - I had never considered that as an option.  I will be buying an archery permit should I fill the multi-season elk or deer tag. 

Any limitation on when you can buy the archery permit?  Do I have to buy it before the season starts or can I do it mid-way through the archery season?

Buy your archery tag whenever you go to MT for your hunt.  They're available at most Sporting Goods stores.  You'll need to show an old (or current) hunting license that was for an archery season (from any State); otherwise, you have to complete a MT Archery Course.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

As long as you haven't already shot your deer during the archery season
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
