Get tips to protect access to private land and earn 3 months of onX Hunt Elite while being able to enter FWP's gear raffle.

Hi Hunters,

Hunting season is underway here in Montana, and you can do your part to ensure private access continues into the future. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has updated the Hunter Landowner Stewardship Program for 2025 to provide hunters with practical, field-ready guidance that strengthens trust with landowners. The test is short, clear, and built for people who want to take action.

Whether you are a resident or a nonresident hunter, or even if you are taking a year off, this video guide and test are designed to give you an advantage for this season and many more to come!

Why take it now?

• Protect access this season — by developing simple habits like closing gates, properly managing carcasses, hauling out trash, and preventing the spread of noxious weeds you encourage landowners to continue to share their land.
• Earn immediate, usable tools — pass the test and claim 3 months of onX Hunt Elite.
• Win useful gear — passing allows you to enter the FWP raffle for a chance to win a Vanguard Black Hills rifle from Weatherby or a Madison Tipi from VIAM Outdoors.

Take action right now

• Block 15-20 minutes during a break, lunch, or before you head out to the field.
• Go to the FWP It's Up To Us page and start the short video guide.
• Pass the quiz, claim your onX trial, and confirm your raffle entry.
