Provide for the Montana Hunters First Act

This bill establishes the Montana Hunters First Act, which requires the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to conduct a study on how nonresident hunters impact deer and elk hunting opportunities in the state. The study must analyze hunting pressure, population trends, and license allocation, with findings published in a public report by December 1, 2026. Additionally, the bill mandates that all hunters report their complete hunting activity for each game animal before purchasing a new license, with rules for implementation to be set by the department. These changes aim to gather data on hunting impacts and improve transparency in wildlife management decisions.
