Every Block Management Area document from Montana FWP is included. No data connection needed!
Our goal with Montana Hunting Access is simple: to give you an easy-to-use, all-in-one, no-connection-needed, guide to hunting lands within Montana. Period.
We designed our app to be intuitive.—We want you to spend your time hunting, not learning how to use our app.
We designed our app to work offline.—We know that you’ll be out in the field when you’re hunting (well duh!). In Montana that most often means you won’t have cellular service, much less WiFi. So Montana Hunting Access works regardless if the nearest cell tower is three counties away—and our counties are big! Everything you need comes with the app. Just download it and go hunting; we’ve taken care of the rest.
We understand the critical information you need.—After safety, the single biggest issue for Montana hunters is knowing where you can and cannot hunt. We are laser focused on providing you the most up to date information on boundaries between public and private lands, as well as private lands that are included in Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Block Management Area (MFWP BMA) program. Montana Hunting Access allows you to use the GPS on your phone or mobile device to see exactly where you’re standing relative to the nearest private/BMA/public property boundary. And we provide the BMA documents associated with all of the state’s 900+ BMAs. The BMA documents show you, among many things, the location of those illusive sign-in boxes. And of course we provide topographic information for those times when your question is the simplest of all: “Where the heck am I?!”
We don’t want to nickel & dime you or complicate your life.—Don’t you hate it when apps ask you to buy something else? Didn’t we just buy the app for goodness sakes?! And we surely don’t want to complicate matters by making you decide which of dozens of possible maps you need to buy. That is a nice option for a cartographer, but for most of us it’s just plain confusing. All those options leave us wondering which map do I buy? What’s the difference between them? Am I going to waste money when I realize I purchased a map I didn’t really want? When you buy Montana Hunting Access, we include what you need for this year’s hunting in Montana—no separate purchases required or requested.
I was hunting all around the 400 region last weekend, and did not know ahead of time exactly where I would go. Using this app with the moving map made it incredibly valuable to know when I was at the edge of a block management area. The only downside is all the deer seem to have this app as well, and I can’t count the number of times I spotted deer less than 200 yards outside the edge of a valid block management area! I think you should require a human fingerprint and not allow deer, elk or antelope to access this app!
App update

So I emailed Scott today to see when the 2019 information would be updated. He responded within minutes of my email stating they are currently working on the new information. I have used this app now for the last 3 years on my hunting trips to Montana. Absolutely love it!!! Property lines, BMA information, and much more available to me, all while in the feild on my smart phone!! Keep up the great app!!!
It just works!

This is a very handy app. I have used it many times and enjoy it each time. It’s simple and easy to use and no cellular signal is needed. Well worth the one-time price!
This is a Winner!

I found this last year and for a guy from out of state this app really saved me a lot of time and energy. It is so nice to have it available off-line while huddled in the truck with the dogs!
