Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and the Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) is reminding hunters that use horses to have a brand inspection on those animals before crossing county lines.

“It’s a pretty common violation during hunting season,” said John Grainger, brands enforcement division administrator for DOL. “Producers move livestock all the time and are generally familiar with transportation requirements, but sometimes hunters just don’t know.”

Grainger recommends that hunters get their horses inspected in advance of their planned departure. The fine for not having a proper inspection is $135.
