2016 Montana Antelope drawing

[Poke 'Em]

Third year in a row with a 700 rifle tag. Lucky me.

 

[Southern Elk]

No luck...as usual.

 

[Montanakid]

Got the 700 tag as well!

 

[JEL]

That's it. I'm Wittiching everyone who drew.

Yes! Thanks for expanding my vocabulary today.

 

[MTGomer]

900 again.
Now that I live on that side of the state I might actually use it.

 

[BlakeA]

I can only wonder what the permits given out in 700 were, we didn't have points. I have a suspicion we weren't "lucky", we just drew with ten thousand other people.

Kind of my thoughts exactly haha...

 

[The Hedgehog]

They're coming back, really. FWP is giving out more tags.

 

[muledeerjunkie]

No such luck for me this year, ended up with a point...

 

[FishN4Eyes]

900 'loper and B loper.

 

[brockel]

Wife drew her rifle permit and a b tag and I got my 900 tag. I'll be chasing them real soon

 

[hearteater]

Do they post final quotas online? Or do you have to call to find out how many tags were issued?

 

[theat]

FOUR 700 rifle permits and FOUR 700 b permits for my house. And 2 wyoming buck permits in a great red desert unit. 10 antelope permits this year in my house.

Yikes, three of us got both 700 tags as well, and I know of several others that got the same. FWP must be giving out a ton of B tags. Unless the population quadrupled since last year...our three B tags will go unfilled.

 

[The Hedgehog]

Likely all 4 of ours will go unfilled.

 

[8andcounting]

Likely all 4 of ours will go unfilled.

good to hear.... I cant imagine they have rebounded to a number worthy of giving out so many b tags

 

[hearteater]

I called the region 7 office and the woman I spoke with told me they left the 700-30 b tag quota at 100...

 

[NKQualtieri]

700-20 antelope tag....looks like I get to head east for a few days this fall

 

[mdunc8]

I called the region 7 office and the woman I spoke with told me they left the 700-30 b tag quota at 100...

Well it looks like the folks on here drew damn near half of them.

Weird, draw odds last year were 5%. I was thinking it would be an easy way for an extra B-tag "point". 4 of us drew, 2 separate parties, and the only other 5 people that I know who applied for a 700 b permit, drew also. I'm thinking that's unlikely odds of a truthful FWP claim.

700-20. Should be fun. Saw lot of goats scouting for deer back in June.

At first I thought I called the wrong number based on the drawn out silence after I asked about the number of tags. I'm guessing the silence was for a completely different reason.
