The 2021 Black Bear Regulations booklets contain language about a requirement for hunters to wait 24 hours after the bear license is issued to hunt bears. This is no longer accurate. The 2021 Montana Legislature eliminated the requirement in HB637. The regulations were printed before the Montana Legislature changed the statute. Regulations posted on the FWP website are current.
