The bill revises existing shooting preserve laws in Montana by implementing several key changes. It mandates that shooting preserves must be located entirely on private property, thereby eliminating any previous size restrictions related to public hunting areas. Additionally, the bill increases the shooting preserve license fee from a tiered structure to a flat fee of $250, valid for five years, and removes the requirement for a minimum number of birds to be released annually. It also requires shooting preserve operators to report their harvests using specific forms provided by the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.

Furthermore, the bill amends various sections of the Montana Code Annotated, including the removal of the section that previously set limits on the amount of game that could be harvested from shooting preserves. It introduces new reporting requirements for harvested game, replacing the previous tagging system with a requirement for operators to use harvest forms. The bill aims to streamline regulations and enhance the management of shooting preserves while ensuring compliance with wildlife conservation efforts.
