Education > Hunter Hunter-Landowner Stewardship Program

Fish and wildlife management across Montana depends upon the conservation and environmental stewardship of private landowners. These landowners help preserve the open spaces that make Montana so unique. Developing and maintaining good relationships with landowners is critical to hunters‘ ability to pursue game on private lands which make up 64% of the state. A cornerstone to these relationships is hunters developing an understanding of how to ethically and responsibly hunt private land. The Hunter Landowner Stewardship Program is an excellent way for hunters to begin to develop that understanding and awareness. 

 Though most hunters behave legally and ethically when hunting on private and public lands, those who don’t create problems for hunters and landowners alike. It’s up to us as hunters to remember that our behavior has impacts that are positive or negative depending on the decisions we make before, during, and after hunting on private land.  

 Remember, it’s up to us. Respect access. Protect the hunt. 

 Taking the test is simple. Just watch the videos and answer the questions. At the end of the test, you must click on the link to take you to the certification page. To officially have completed the test, you must enter your name and ALS number. If you don’t have an ALS number, you can acquire one through our online license system.

Having trouble saving certification?

When you reach the Certificate of Completion screen at the end of the program, follow the printing instructions.

Note: If you make a mistake in printing, you may have to re-take the course to print your certificate.

If you are interested in keeping a completion record on file for future reference, you may do so by submitting this information to FWP's license database (ALS).

We recommend you do this since there's no other way for FWP to retrieve your record. To submit your information to ALS you must have an ALS number. If you don't currently have an ALS number, you may get information about how to get one by calling an FWP office.

If you are a nonresident living outside of Montana, the only way to obtain an ALS number is through a license purchase via our Online Licensing Service.
