Montana 2025 draws

[Mtrose]

I didn’t get anything but my husband got an elk permit. Somewhere new to scout and hunt, should be fun.

 

[Pagosa]

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.

Im okay with you passing it along to me? No reason for you to ruin your season by hunting a LE when you would rather hunt general, right. Congratulations to you and your wife

My 13 year-old and I drew 411-20 elk! Looking forward to a fun hunt.

I think you need to have a friend in the Illuminati to draw a tag in Montana.

Or 20 years worth of points!

I drew a breaks Mule deer tag.... I know the deer herds have been hit really hard up there. Noting that the tags went from unliminted down to 100, can I feel "okay" with hunting for a mature deer. Or should I just eat the permit and let all of the bucks live?

Thats what happens when tag quotas plummet in breaks units.

Beef is a safer bet.
