Looks like I picked a good year to sit out of Montana draw after just under a decade of applying. Hope it all gets straightened out for you and everyone else!

Looks like every year is a good year to sit out from here on out. This will be my 3rd straight year applying missing out on permit drawings

Definitely some shenanigans going on. I had four bonus points and applied for an elk permit with less than 1% odds and didn’t draw a permit…

If you call them and ask as others have said they will tell you they are “working through some issues”. Name one other state that has to “work through issues” after they post draw results
I’d be curious how many applicants who only submitted a first choice app drew vs. those who submitted a second choice too.
There’s really no reason to submit a second choice in the new system but it still allowed you to.
Knowing this would validate or invalidate the rumor that the glitch was:
Those who applied with a second choice app in addition to the first were kicked out of the draw due to a system error. If this happened it would increase the odds for those who applied for first choice only. Cut out a significant portion of the apps and the tags suddenly become easier to draw.

Not complaining about not drawing. Just tired of my permit applications getting thrown in the trash and donating hundreds of dollars for it. From here it looks like the only way a NR can dump their bonus points is to hire an outfitter or just leave them on the table

I support as many re-draws as it takes to finally get me an elk permit.

And they fixed it correct?
They took tags back a week later

First time the Biebs has appeared on HuntTalk? Pretty sure Schaaf should have to endure a 30 day HT ban for this.

F implies a naughty word. I’m surprised this hasn’t been edited. I reported you.

I have to assume my elk app was thrown out. It shows I have no successful or unsuccessful permit. Nothing still in 'pending' either. I put down a first and second choice. But...big difference between '1st choice only' vs 'First and only choice', or even '1st and 2nd choice only', all of which are in the regs verbatim. We'll see where this one goes but what a disaster. Wouldn't this cause the entire draw to be entirely inaccurate?
