MT 280 Tactical Analysis MT 280 is a moose hunt with limited tag availability. The unit draws applicants from across the region and nationally due to moose's scarcity and prestige as a once-in-a-lifetime tag. Application Strategy Residents face a $10 application fee with a May 1 deadline. Nonresidents pay $50 to apply. Both groups should budget for tag fees ($125 for residents, $1,250 for nonresidents) and required license fees before applying.
