I may be going to Montana for a year of school in 2015. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: Thought hunting and fishing might be a good after school activity. Any advice, what do tags/licence cost, etc.????
As a student, you can get a really good discount on license and tag prices. You have to go to a regional office with your enrollment info in order to buy them.
I believe you'll be able to do deer, elk for around $100 or so. Look on the FWP website and it should have pricing.
What school?

Make sure you check with WDFW before you purchase your Montana license, you will need to give up your Washington residency purchase ability or face a large fine if checked by a game officer in Montana.I may be going to Montana for a year of school in 2015. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: Thought hunting and fishing might be a good after school activity.

Or you can just pay the non resident fees and not worry about it.

That is absolutely not true. As a full time NR student you get discounted NR big game combo for under $100. If you throw in an archery stamp its right at $100 I believe. I bought the NR student combo and WA resident license and tag two years in a row. Its an awesome gig and in reality is the only reason I decided to go to school in MT :chuckle: Deer, elk, upland, small game, and fishing license all for around a $100. Dam near cheaper than WA.

It's not a "resident" license, it's simply a discounted student license so you are not required to establish residency in MT or forfeit residency where you are from.

Phool,:tup: Just out of curiosity, how do they verify student staus?

I believe you have to take your class schedule from the registrar after you pay your tuition and go to a regional office.
I don't think you could put on a Griz sweatshirt and flip flops and pull it off :)

What credit load requirements are there for student status?
I would assume full time status, whatever that may be there.

Just had an aquantance get nailed for this. Shot a huge buck in Idaho, got checked and they determined he declared residency in Washington and had the lifetime license in Idaho or something like that. Confiscated his big buck, and is looking at fines and time lost hunting (priviledges). OUCH

I have a buddy that did the same in Montana, moved there but did not let WDFW know he had moved, got checked by MFW&P and had to jump through many hoops as well as fines. He wasn't a student though.Make sure you check with WDFW before you purchase your Montana license, you will need to give up your Washington residency purchase ability or face a large fine if checked by a game officer in Montana.I may be going to Montana for a year of school in 2015. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: Thought hunting and fishing might be a good after school activity.

Tag. Planning on possibly attending the university of montana as early as 2015 but when you fork over 30 k a year for tuition, how can a person afford hunting? Nice try, I would rather study and get my moneys worth in education.
If a hundred bucks is going to be a deal breaker then you might want to look at a cheaper school.

The race isn't always about the finish line, but that's certainly your call. I've learned that you can work hard and enjoy things along the way.Agreed! I have never met anyone who NEVER took even one day off from school work. I find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't take one or two Sunday's to go kill a deer. If anything it is justified for the meat alone. I would think a poor college student would want a deer or 7 in their freezer. Maybe Naches would need more than a day to kill a legal deer in Montana :dunno: I know I wouldn't. :twocents:

dude you got to relax, its great and all that your gonna take school that serious and get your monies worth, but life is to short dude, you got to have time to clear your head and refocus and then carry on, you cant do that if your face is always stuffed in a book, and what a better way than hittn the hills, with your mind set it sounds like you will do fine in school, but a little fun along the way will make it alot more memorable and defiantly alot more relaxing :tup:Tag.

I was saying if I pay 30,000 a year, I would rather focus hard on school. Hunting can wait. A job is what funds hunting but in order to enjoy hunting in the future, you need an education so you have money to play with. Getting a double major in my field is something more important to me than enjoying hunting while I am there. Education always come first, hunting comes last IMO.

You might be pleasantly surprised. I graduated in 3.5 years, got a double major, good enough grades to get scholarships for post-college education, worked as a roofer, and still found time to have way too much fun and to hunt and fish constantly. My only regret is graduating in 3.5 years....

Oddly enough the current job I'm working resulted from meeting a hunting partner during the 2012 general season hunting on a NR student hunting license. I absolutely love my job and where I live. Obviously a rare circumstance, but if I would of stayed in the dorm I wouldnt be where I am.
