HELENA - The state Department or Fish, Wildlife and Parks has moved up the deadline to apply for a license to hunt bison near Yellowstone National Park.

Hunters must apply by May 1. The applications for moose, sheep and goat licenses now also include bison licenses. Hunters will have the option to apply to hunt in one of two areas, north of Gardner or near West Yellowstone. However, they will not be allowed to choose a time period.

The cost to apply for a bison license is the $5 drawing fee. The drawing will be held in September once the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission sets the final bison quotas and seasons. Those successful in drawing a bison license must pay a $125 fee prior to hunting.
