BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks announced the start of the antelope 900 shoulder hunting season, offering hunters a chance to get some early season experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, this special season comes with specific restrictions.<\/p>\n

Hunting is limited to archery, and only certain sections of private land are open for this activity.<\/p>\n

In addition to the antelope season, the elk shoulder season has also started.<\/p>\n

Unlike the antelope season, shoulder season for elk involves firearm hunting aimed at controlling the elk population.<\/p>\n

According to Montana.gov<\/a>, more than 141,000 elk have been counted in the state since 2002.<\/p>\n

For those eager to get an early start on hunting, these shoulder seasons provide a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks announced the start of the antelope 900 shoulder hunting season,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106225,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[70330,70340,70341,70334,70335,70331,70336,9831,70338,70337,983,70333,35529,70329,70332,58834,1894,63356,70339,79,70342,201],"class_list":{"0":"post-106224","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-abc-fox-montana","9":"tag-animal-killing","10":"tag-blood-sports","11":"tag-bozeman","12":"tag-bozeman-news","13":"tag-fox-montana","14":"tag-gallatin-valley","15":"tag-hunting","16":"tag-hunting-season","17":"tag-kwyb","18":"tag-local-news","19":"tag-montana-local-news","20":"tag-montana-news","21":"tag-montanarightnow","22":"tag-mt-news","23":"tag-news-montana","24":"tag-nonstop-local","25":"tag-outdoor-recreation","26":"tag-resource-extraction","27":"tag-science","28":"tag-survival-skills","29":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
