Have a Beer and Buy a Hunting License–Gotta Love Montana!

I recently read something in a hunting forum that made me laugh–at first.  Somebody was asking for information on how they could take their friend to a Montana bar and also pick up hunting licenses while there, per the request of the friend.  It seemed like an odd request, but hey–to each their own.  So, after looking into it a bit more, I realized there are a few Montana bars that double as FWP license provider locations.  The thought just never occurred to me.

I guess it just never occurred to me to purchase my hunting licenses outside of Bob Ward’s, but, then again, not all Montana towns have a Bob Ward’s, much less a sporting goods store.  So, I suppose a bar is just as good as any location.  Gotta love Montana one-stop shops.
