Montana's spring black bear hunting season begins April 15. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials said all spring black bear hunters must purchase their licenses on or before April 14. Licenses purchased after April 14 can only be used for the fall black bear season. Black bear hunters are limited to only one black bear license a year.

The 2008 black bear licenses and regulations are available online at fwp.mt.gov and at FWP regional offices and license providers.

Bowhunting Success in Wisconsin
My buck was shot in Sauk county Wisconsin; it was during the 2006 bowhunting season. It was early October and the rut had not started yet. He presented me with about a 20 yard shot quartering away in a cut hay field. He weighed 250 lbs and has 9 points scoring 130 B/C.
