Once you log into to your account, you'll see this screen.
Next, you can select the bonus points you want to purchase.
And finally, if you're a nonresident, you can purchase a preference point.
If you missed applying in Montana during the main draw, here's your last chance to pick up points.
In Montana, every hunter who applies for a special license through a big game drawing can participate in the bonus point system for an extra fee. Montana changed their system in 2017 to allow individuals who missed the deadline to now purchase bonus points. Also, if you are new to applying in Montana, you can simply create an account, acquire your ALS number and then purchase points for all species.
The points period for bonus and preference points is July 1 - September 30.
You can purchase a bonus point here.
Bonus points are for the special draw hunt districts for deer, elk, antelope, moose, sheep, mountain goat.
Preference points are for nonresidents only and are valid for general season big game, deer or elk combination licenses. You can see the available hunt districts you can hunt on a general tag on Filtering.
Preference points can be purchased:
Note: You must apply for the nonresident combination license the following year, or this point will be lost.
Note: This system doesn't allow an additional opportunity to gain two bonus/preference points for a species in the same year.
You can purchase bonus/preference points online here or at any FWP license provider.
At the time of application for the nonresident combination license.
Or between July 1 and September 30 for individuals who did not apply for a nonresident combination license.
