The Secretary must allow hunting and fishing in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area under Montana, Wyoming, and federal law, but may restrict it in certain zones or times. Crow Tribe hunting and fishing rights on tribal land within the area are protected.

The Secretary must permit hunting and fishing on the land and water it controls within the recreation area, following applicable Montana or Wyoming and federal law. The Secretary may designate zones and set periods with no hunting or fishing, for public safety, administration, fish or wildlife management, or public use and enjoyment. But this section does not take away the Crow Tribe's or its members' hunting and fishing rights, under other law, on Crow Tribe land included in the recreation area, or tribal members' rights under a 1958 law. Except in emergencies, the Secretary must consult with the Montana Fish and Game Department or the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission before any such regulation takes effect.
