Montana 2025 draws

[DFS]

Insatiable demand for killing the last one. Hunting is conservation.

Big game combo for me, no limited entry bull

 

[Frequently Banned Troll]

The Rinnella Affect, wolves, onxmaps, 1000 yard rifles, 100 yard bows, 6 months of season, slimy politicians making laws that cripple good management - it takes a pretty good permit to be worth the wait in MT.

Nothing in my house but a friend I’ve known for 35 years drew elk in 380. He’s got an old wood stock rifle and would likely never shoot past 200 yards and is most often most happy about just taking a cow for the meat. Glad he drew.

that’s great . I hope he has a 350” bull at 150 yards And takes the bull home . These are the posts I like to read .

Mt. has always treated me well, another year with a Big game combo in my pocket, no LE permits.
Come on Sept.!!!

 

[Hammsolo]

Shouldn’t this mean that no one with only one point drew that same combo?

Let’s just say this system doesn’t make sense… I’m only in a mild rage.

Question: If I, as a resident, drew a LE permit that I didn't want to draw, can I return that permit so I can still hunt general units?

No …. Why apply for one you didn’t want

2 hasn’t been a 100% draw for several years now …. It was a possibility

So I could get my bonus point. It wouldn't let me purchase a bonus point without putting into a draw.

There is a separate point only period at end of year…. If you didn’t want to draw you didn’t have to apply and you get preference and bonus points only in Oct

Well, all my life I've never known that. Still going to call and ask, I have to assume there are many people who would love to have this permit, maybe it could be passed on.

Fwp could probably help you.

Fyi you could buy a BP this summer and not when you applied.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Good luck with the call.

I’m assuming you put in for a hard to draw unit and it’s a good tag. Why not go hunt it rather than collect another point?

 

[thusby]

I wouldn’t buy preference points for the combo. We just put in with 0 every time and roll the dice.

July 1- Dec 31 you can buy bonus points. They are not going to take back the permit . Good luck with the call .

I drew In 23 & 24 with 0 . I also know a guy that’s been denied 3 years in a row with 0 .

I had in my mind to kill a bull this year in archery in an OTC unit.

And, it's a significant time and effort commitment that I'm not sure I'm up for this year. I suppose I might not have a choice.

No, you are stuck with the unit you drew. Are you F’n with us?
