Landowners have until May 1 to apply for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Elk Hunting Access Agreement (EHA) Program. EHA agreements, which were established by the 2001 Legislature, provide landowners with an elk license (including elk B), an either-sex permit or combination of the two in exchange for allowing free public hunting access for elk management purposes.  

The licenses/permits issued through this program may be designated to an immediate family member or an authorized full-time employee of the landowner and is valid only on the landowner’s property or private land leased by the landowner for agricultural purposes. 

For every permit/license issued through this program, landowners can select up to one-third of the required public hunters with the other two-thirds being randomly selected by FWP.
