A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: "AN ACT PROVIDING THAT AN APPLICATION FOR A WILD BUFFALO OR BISON SPECIAL LICENSE MUST BE MADE ON THE SAME FORM AND IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME LICENSE APPLICATION DEADLINE AS THE SPECIAL LICENSE FOR MOOSE, MOUNTAIN LION, AND MOUNTAIN SHEEP; AMENDING SECTION 87-2-702, MCA; AND PROVIDING A DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE."
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:
Section 1. Section 87-2-702, MCA, is amended to read:
"87-2-702. Restrictions on special licenses. (1) A person who has killed or taken any game animal, except a deer, an elk, or an antelope, during the current license year is not permitted to receive a special license under this chapter to hunt or kill a second game animal of the same species.
(2) The commission may require applicants for special permits authorized by this chapter to obtain a valid big game license for that species for the current year prior to applying for a special permit.
(3) A person may take only one grizzly bear in Montana with a license authorized by 87-2-701.
(4) (a) Except as provided in 87-1-271(2), a person who receives a moose, mountain goat, or limited mountain sheep license, as authorized by 87-2-701, with the exception of an anterless antlerless moose or an adult ewe game management license issued under 87-2-104, is not eligible to receive another special license for that species for the next 7 years.
