Montana wildlife officials report that some hunters still damage Block Management Area boxes, drive off designated roads, trespass, fire over other hunters, leave trash, and kill livestock each season, even though most treat land, property, and animals with care. The agency urges everyone to act as stewards, safeguard public access, treat landowners with respect, and keep hunting traditions intact, with fwp.mt.gov/protectthehunt at the center of that work.

Anyone who sees fish, wildlife, or park rule violations can report them anonymously by calling 1-800-TIP-MONT or visiting tipmont.mt.gov and may receive as much as $1,000 if the information produces a conviction.
