Most Block Management Areas in Region 7 open again to public hunting

As of Tuesday afternoon, twenty of the 25 Block Management Areas in Region 7 that had closed or restricted access earlier due to fire danger were open to hunters, although some are restricted to walk-in access only.

To check whether BMAs allow access, visit the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov and click on “Hunting,” then “Block Management.” Select Region 7 for a listing of restrictions or closures.

By the end of this week, all of the counties in Southeastern Montana’s Region 7 will have lifted fire restrictions, allowing hunters to have campfires and smoke while outdoors. FWP urges hunters to continue to use caution, as the region is still experiencing drought conditions and fire danger remains a factor.
