Counting NR Reg and Special (including both random) total tags were 13. Historic low. I made the assumption that the number of NR tags were fixed as a % of the total quota. Is that not so? If they are fixed as a % what is it for LE?
Need help. I thought I did it right, got hosed. NR LE elk unit. Total tags for 2024 were listed at >100. Historically 22-16 NR LE tags available. Had 3 points more than I thought I needed. Only 3 NR tags were given out. How the hell did that happen? What did I miss? Where would I get the info to...
Anyone had any issues with their customer service? I mistakenly purchased some 200 spine arrows, needed 250 spine. I didn't catch the error until the arrows were being shipped. I've emailed them a half dozen times and left a few voicemails. No reply back yet. This is going on almost 3 weeks...
If you've hunted Eastern Montana, and stayed within a mile of the roads, then you should be very familiar with the quality found in 41. There's just a lot less deer in 41 but you'll likely see few pigs on private if you pound the north end. You can set up a spotter on the North side of the Snake...
If you want a deer in these drought conditions find some ag fields in the north near the Snake River and sit on them for a week. Don't expect a huge buck it's not managed for trophy deer. I put this tag on par with a 3rd season Colorado hunt that only takes 1 or 2 points to draw. As a non...

Deer Combo: My son and I drew at 2pts. Cousin drew at 0pts. My two daughters did not draw, both at 1pt each.
Question: My daughters applied with 1pt and did not draw. They did NOT purchase a preference point prior to applying. Do they now get a preference point for not drawing?
Current point holders keep all their points. Everybody plays by the following new rules.
(1) You draw a point for that species and tag type, when you apply for that specific species and tag type. No more buying points without applying.
(2) Miss two years in a row applying and you lose your...
Shortest version for context:
Cousin from CA was going to be working near Howe ID this fall.
Cousin put son and self in for Unit 51 Nov Elk.
Son drew the tag...it's his first ever elk tag.
It's become obvious Cousins lungs are not up to the task of scouting and hunting this fall due to recent...
I'll put it to you this way when you carry the 1 incorrectly the consequence is you overcharge someone for a snickers bar. When I carry the 1 incorrectly chit blows up and you go to jail.
