Refuge hunts follow Montana seasons, bag limits and license requirements set by the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Refuges may be more restrictive — never less — than state rules.
Each refuge publishes hunt regulations in 50 CFR Part 32 and in its hunt brochure. Units marked special regulations may limit species, dates, weapons, or require quota permits.
Montana's 99 Waterfowl Production Areas are generally open to hunting under state rules. Browse MT WPAs by county →
