Title: Montana B Licenses
Post by: jamesfromseattle on January 02, 2019, 08:18:44 PM: To buy a B License (antlerless) in Montana, do you need to also buy a General License? I can't find anything in the regs that says you do, but I may be missing something obvious.

I'd like to just get a couple of the B Licenses without burning big dollars on a General License.

And yes, I am willing to admit that I'm not above driving 10 hours to fill a couple whitetail doe tags. Quite frankly, I enjoy hunting does more than bucks sometimes. Low stakes, lots of venison, and a good excuse to see some new country.

I've done a couple doe-focused trips to Wyoming in the past, but the doe tags seem to be getting tougher to draw every year there so I'd like to give Montana a shot this year. There seem to be some good options to get multiple tags in areas with block management access.

You don't have to buy the two I mentioned before or during the B tag purchase but you do need them before you can hunt (at least I think this is true but haven't tried it before).
