Title: Montana License
Post by: matt345 on May 09, 2013, 01:45:37 PM: I was surprised when I purchased my Non Resident license online that there was no requirement to show proof of Hunters safety. They just assigned me an ALS number and I was good to go. Anybody else think this is odd?

That is the "Come home to hunt" introduced in 2009 when HB585 passed. With the lack of license sales there really is no difference between going that route or simply applying as a regular non resident hunter.

Actually it may even be easier as a non resident since the "Come home to hunt" license requires a family member to purchase a license and sponsor you, prices are the same as any non resident as well.
