Bison Application Changes

This year bison hunters must apply by May 1 for this fall and winters bison hunt.

The moose, sheep and goat application now include bison . In another change, while bison hunters will continue to have the option to apply for one of two areas for an either-sex bison, north of Gardner (395-00) or near West Yellowstone (385-00), hunters will not have the option of applying by time periods this year.

The cost for applying for a bison license will be the $5 drawing fee. The drawing will be conducted in September once the Commission sets the final Bison quotas and seasons. If you are successful in the Bison drawing you will be required to purchase the bison license for $125 prior to hunting.
