License Figures Show Surge in Montana Hunting Fishing Licenses
Montana’s licensing data from 1949 reveal a sharp rise in resident and nonresident hunting and fishing licenses. Total sales nearly doubled from the prior decade, driven by resident bird and fish permits and big game licenses, with 1942 and wartime disruptions noted. The 1949 breakdown shows resident bird and fish leading, nonresident and tourist licenses moderate, and several special big game categories. Officials warn the larger pool of hunters includes many inexperienced, urging careful conduct in the field.
