Final guided bison hunt lottery on Blackfeet Reservation closes Jan. 5
MISSOULA, Mont. — The last drawing for a guided bison hunt on the Blackfeet Reservation is coming up Jan. 5, and hunters can still purchase chances for $10 each. There’s no limit on how many chances an individual can buy.
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks says the lottery is part of its ongoing partnership with the Blackfeet Tribe to support shared fish and wildlife management and expand hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities across the state.
The drawing is open to all hunters — tribal members and nonmembers, Montana residents and nonresidents. Those selected will be guided by Blackfeet Fish and Game buffalo program staff and can choose the animal they want to harvest. Successful hunters will have a three-week window to complete the hunt, starting the day after the draw, and may keep the bison’s head, hide and meat.
Entries can be submitted at fwp.mt.gov/buyandapply, or purchased through a license provider or any FWP office. For more information, contact the Blackfeet Fish and Game office at 406-338-7207 or the FWP tribal liaison at 406-750-3574.
