Montana Wildlife Agency Drops Hunter Confidentiality Plan

Your information is now available under the state’s right-to-know laws

Montana wildlife officials are dropping plans for legislation that would make confidential the names of hunters and trappers who kill wildlife, a Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman said Wednesday.

The agency had planned to propose a bill in the 2015 session to bar disclosure of identifying information about hunters or trappers that take any kind of game animal, furbearer or other species under the department’s management. It would have expanded an existing law that already gives confidentiality to hunters who kill bears, mountain lions or wolves in the state.
