House Bill No. introduced by C. Hinkle and others proposes amendments to the hunting license regulations for residents in Montana, specifically targeting those aged 75 and older. The bill allows residents over 75 years of age to use a general elk license to harvest antlerless elk on private lands in designated hunting districts. This provision aims to provide greater hunting opportunities for older residents, particularly in areas where youth under 15 years of age are permitted to harvest antlerless elk.

The bill amends Section 87-2-801 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to include new legal language that specifies the eligibility criteria for residents aged 75 and older. The amendments clarify that these residents can harvest antlerless elk during any season in specific hunting districts, thereby enhancing their access to hunting resources while also promoting wildlife management practices.
