You live in eastern Montana and have squirrels and trees? Wow, you must be in the 1%.

You are right, only trees in Eastern Montana are planted
There are also no hills or water, just endless flat land were the wind is constantly blowing down from the north pole.

2022 Regulations are posted on FWP's site under the Hunt tab for Deer, Elk, Antelope and Moose, Sheep, Goat.
Not sure when they were published, but 2021 drawing odds are also posted.

Thanks sapper. Got the email from MT Fish and Game. Will be interesting to see the odds for this year with all the changes. Cheers.

Draw odds will likely be a little worse each year, even with the increase in tags more people will be applying for limited tags in eastern Montana

To a point I think your correct. However there is a point of diminishing return where the chance of a big bull is offset by the overall crappy experience to the point time is better off spent elsewhere. I spent 20 plus days east last year. In hindsight, I wish I would have spent them in a general unit that has been intriguing me.
I think there will be a bunch of leftovers for a couple of the units. Be interesting to see when the draw comes out.

I am intrigued to see where things fall as well on the former 900 bundle units. I'm putting in for one of them and I assume my odds will be worse than they would have been if it was still a 900 tag. I'm sure others will be the opposite.
Described my place. Nearest wind block is 5.08 miles away. Water was only 160’ away though straight downYou are right, only trees in Eastern Montana are planted

hopefully that number isn't slowly increasing.
Don’t have to worry about in eastern Montana. Think we had just shy of 6” of total precipitation last year

I meant getting deeper.
Does anyone know that for the units that are first and only choice, do leftovers become available for those units or not. If they do, I guess I don't understand what the purpose of first and only choice was?
Also, does the 10% non-res cap of quota apply when they become leftovers?
The combination of the huge archery quotas and the potential of leftovers is scary to me.

I seem to remember Hank saying they would go into a surplus sale.

I am thinking that a 1000 tags in 702,704 and 705 might be a reductions in hunters.

Coffee and Hunttalk at 5 a.m.?

I rarely sleep in past five, I like to get in a little antler hunting or scouting for deer and elk before work.
It is orange juice and yogurt for breakfast. I have never been able to handle hot drinks like coffee and who wants to drink it cold. We all have our flaws.
And yes there are no days off on the ranch.
