How to Enter the Protect the Hunt Raffle with MFWP in Montana
I Lived a Hunter's Dream While Growing Up on the Strand Ranch in Geyser, MT
I fully admit that I lived an extremely privileged childhood and teen years in terms of hunting access. Growing up in Central Montana on one of the prime areas that hunters sought access to, I often had run of whatever area I wanted, pretty much when I wanted and for whatever game I had a license for at the time.
Like I said, privileged. But at the same time, I had respect for the land hammered into me from a young age by both grandparents and father alike. And occasionally one old cowboy that always had a lesson to teach and a non-filter Camel cigarette hanging from his buckskin gloved hand. It also gave me perspective; the side of the landowner.
How to Enter the Protect the Hunt Raffle with MFWP in Montana
Protect the Hunt with the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks allows hunters to learn more about what a landowner faces when hunting season arrives and calls begin. Oftentimes, that process has already begun as adventurers begin scouting before the season arrives.

The program involves taking the Hunter- Landowner Stewardship Video Guide + Test through MFWP. The guide leads hunters though several different aspects of the season including:
- Maintaining access
- Hunting safely
- Respecting private and working lands
- Understanding the landowner perspective
The test is for any hunter 18 or older; once passed, hunters are entered into a random drawing for eleven winners in the Spring of 2027.
