I have heard 2 answers to this question: After drawing an elk tag in Montana, do you have to go thru a lottery to get an archery permit?
Thanks, Joe

No, you just need to buy the bow and arrow license which can be done online or at a local store. If I remember it's only $10.

If you’re referring to the 900-20 permit, it IS the permit you draw, not a secondary permit. You can archery hunt on any permit as long as you have the bow and arrow license as listed above, the permit just gives a bow hunter better bang for his buck points-wise since you don’t have to compete against rifle hunters for points

As a resident, we buy a conservation license, then we purchase additional stamps to go on that license.
archery is a stamp
fishing is a stamp
warm water fishing stamp
state land use stamp
upland game is a stamp waterfowl is a stamp
big game is a seperate license, but the bow stamp on the conservations covers all other licenses.
so my assumption is you would get your elk permit then have to buy a bow and arrow stamp to shoot archery.

Trax - Couldn't agree more. I applied for 5 years before getting my 410 permit. If my memory is correct, the "fine" to put in for the draw every year was $1,175. The consolation prize or returned money was $820. So by the time I drew my tag, I was in for over $2,000. I'll never hunt Montana again, but really enjoyed hunting the Missouri Breaks. Montana has perfected the art of screwing non-resident hunters.
