I just looked up NR OTC doe tags, that I swear were available in years past, and apparently that did change.. no otc tags are available for NR here now.

That article was referencing the fact that there’s no more surplus combination tags like years ago - now you have to apply to get one but there’s still many many b tags in Montana that are otc for NR ! Fact

Oh my god ........ don’t waste your breath asking - it wouldn’t upset me .... what does upset me is people that think they know but they really don’t . Trust me , I know Montana rules and regs and how the tag sales work . August 9th otc tags go on sale for both residents and NR. It might upset you when your wrong , but go ahead and waste your time and your breath

I’m on the phone with them now they agree that’s interesting and haven’t heard that NR cannot get otc deer tags. So far they agree with you. I’m not mad at all partner trying to be helpful

They confirmed I’m correct that they are unsure why they didn’t receive information letting them know they wouldn’t be able to issue NR deer tags. She said she is dumbfounded because NR tags are major driver… I hope I’m wrong, and that you get you a nice alfalfa fed whitey doe this year. But if you DONT. Don’t get mad at me

Okie dokie buddy. Try not to pop that big head of yours. If I had a resident do that for me just to be sure id say, thank you.. people that don’t know you from Adam are trying to do something for you?? Please don’t move here, there are enough people like you here already. Don’t worry little buddy, the boogeyman isn’t real. I know it’s scary..!

Trust me I was tripped the hell out too. Like I scoured the internet. I agree with you I have the Regs chillin by me also. When I seen the pic I posted my own jaw dropped on y’all’s accord. I was literally trying to help. Might be crappy outcome (if it’s true) so I’m sorry to be bearer of bad news. I hope I’m wrong though and you guys carry on as planned and find nothing but success and happiness. People get edgey over being wrong. I don’t; I hope I am. I get 7 deer tags wtf does it matter to me?

I bought an OTC whitetail doe tag last year in the day before the rifle opener when I pulled into town. I'm planning to do the same thing this year based on the regs available.

I’m a bit confused here on the OTC vs draw B tags. Below is excerpt from the 2021 regs for unit 314. If I’m reading this correctly, there’s a deer B draw (hunt 314-01) that closed for apps on June 1. It’s capped at 100 tags. I successfully drew that hunt, my son was unsuccessful. However, there’s an OTC tag that provides a Deer B tag for all of Region 3 that goes on sale Aug 9 and is unlimited quantity. The draw tag is $5 more than the OTC tag. So what’s confusing to me is why would anyone do the draw tag for a specific unit when they can just buy an OTC tag that covers the entire region? Is it simply to let you get 2 B tags since you can only have one OTC?
Yeah, I realize that I did the “why would anyone do that” thing. But I wasn’t aware of the OTC option.
