Hunting a Bison in Montana – How to Enter Now

Hunting a Bison in Montana - How to Enter Now

Growing up in a hunting family, there were certain game animals that we always were after.  Mainly deer and birds.  And we knew how hard it was to have your name drawn for the chance at an elk, moose, goat or sheep.

Those were the big ones that we looked forward to.  But now there is an opportunity to draw what I would consider the grandaddy of tags in Montana.  The chance to hunt a bison in our state.

Guided Trophy Bison Hunt on the Blackfeet Reservation

In Montana there are 4 different opportunities to enter the drawing for a guided trophy bison hunt on the Blackfeet Reservation.

Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) teams with the Blackfeet Reservation to offer the hunt to all hunters including:

I have to admit, this would be an incredible adventure and definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Want to throw in your chance with mine?  Head to the MFWP website here and select "Blackfeet bison lottery" to enter.

Successful hunters of the guided trip will be able to keep the head and the hide along with the meat from the animal.  Better make some room in the freezer if you get are the lucky winner.  Or, if needed, drop some off at our studios!  Good luck!
