Montana nonresident landowner get elk tags every year?

There's a TV hunting personality who has gotten a pretty hard to draw elk tag for a few years, and so has his wife. How does a couple who's residence is Iowa get a limited draw tag with low odds with zero points and defeat the normal draw odds?

If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be. Shine a little light on that creeping shadow.

Also- would this be the hunting personality couple found guilty of game violations in Nebraska?

Between LO preference and the 454 program in many districts it’s basically a guarantee.

7 NR LOs applied, 7 drew, quota of 100 tags. But also this:
