Hunter check, CWD sampling stations ready for season

Big game hunter check stations will be in operation across Montana beginning this weekend and continue through the general rifle season.

Hunters must stop at check stations that they pass, even if they have not harvested any animals. For hunters without game, the check station process will be very quick and simple.

Additionally, in northwestern, north-central, southwestern and south-central Montana, FWP will be operating CWD sampling stations. To view a list of sampling station locations, go to https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/9553d3eb7590476e8eaf42ad52694d3c
