The popular Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks program provides hunters with public hunting access to private land, and isolated public land, free of charge, while assisting landowners in managing hunting activities.

While many BMAs do not require reservations, some do. Hunters can use the Hunting Access Guides to determine how permission is obtained for individual BMAs. BMA reservations may be made for some upcoming hunting seasons beginning Aug. 22. Others won't open reservation lists until later in this fall.
Additional tools to help hunters plan for hunts on Montana's 93 million acres of private and public land can be found on line at fwp.mt.gov. Click "Hunting," then click "Hunter Access."
