If you are planing on hunting black bear in Montana you have to take a bear identification test to hunt black bear in Montana. They are trying to cut down on the acidental shooting of grizzlies.

I've already taken the test and passed. Just a quesion, can you tell me how much the license/tag/conservation stamp will cost? My friend and I are going up there this May.

The nonresident bear tag is $120.00 and the conservation license is $5.00 and these are last years prices i`am not sure if the new regulations are out yet.

Sounds like it might be a good idea .If people could mistake elk for a deer what chance do you think they would have on bear .

Thanks for telling me...i want to hunt bear soooo bad.

Gosh, they need to make an identification course for pennsylvania, "this is a picture of a deer and a cow, which one is the deer" You would be suprised at the amount of cows,horse,goats... Shot each year but moronic hunters.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

my understanding is that you can take the test on line . go to www.fwp.state.mt.us click on the bear image to open the test.
the test and certification must be presented before april 14 for spring bear season.
