You have to hunt with the family member that you put on the application. My father inlaw is the only family member that I could use and he just cant do the kind of hunting I like to do. You can add up to 8 family members on the application so if your relative(s) is who you already hunt with regularly than it is a good way to increase your chance at drawing. There are other stipulations as well so you will want to make sure to read the fine print.

It's not designed to let everyone who has a relative in Montana to be able to start hunting in Montana. If you read the regulation completely you must have completed a MT hunter safety course prior to March 1 2010, or have purchased a MT resident license in the past. These tags are designed for people who have moved out of state for employment and yet most of there family still lives there.
