As a resident Purple Heart recipient you can fish and hunt game birds, other than wild turkeys, with only a Wildlife Conservation License and a Resident Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Pass. No other licenses are needed. A nonresident Purple Heart recipient gets the same treatment, but only on expeditions arranged by a nonprofit that uses fishing and hunting to rehabilitate disabled veterans, and buys a Nonresident Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Pass instead.
Buy a Wildlife Conservation License and the aquatic invasive species prevention pass from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and carry proof of your Purple Heart. For questions call 406-444-2535 or email fwpgen@mt.gov.
Proof that you received the Purple Heart, such as your DD214, medal certificate or orders.
