MT 2018 NR big game combo - sold out?

[Nick711]

Just logged into my fwp account and my party was marked “unsuccessful” for this year’s big game combo. Two of the three members in my party have a preference point. Anyone else come up empty handed? Looks like we’ll be trying our luck with obtaining an elk combo.

Best of luck to everyone else.

I didn't draw too, now have 3 points.

That doesn’t make any sense. Last year was the first year in recent memory that the NR combo wasn’t a 100% draw. So if you went in with 2 points this year, you should have definitely drawn.

Am I correct in thinking that if you apply as a party you all have to have a preference point?
If you don't the application fails?
I might be wrong on that as I am not 'local'

No combo for me either. I have 4 or 5 permit points as Ive never drawn a LE permit, but this is the first year in about 9 that I didn't draw the BG combo.

DD, If you are in a party they average all your points together.
Preference - helps you draw BG combo (Must have this to get into the Permit draw)
Bonus - Increased chance on drawing a Limited Entry Permit)

Montana has a complicated draw system, so complicated that they failed to correctly execute the draw on the date they advertised two years in a row.

Sorry for the ignorant question but am I correct in assuming that the elk/deer combo sold out? Meaning that I can still buy just an elk combo OTC? I looked on the fwp page and couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you applied in Montana ? Ahahaha or are you talking about a permit?

My son called me all excited from St. Louis and said,"We drew". Big Game Combo. Bought preference point and applied as a party. Bring on the Bitterroots. After the year I have already had, we are jazzed.

 

[Nick711]

Forgive me, being a newbie, but will my fee minus license be automatically refunded since I didn’t draw?

Huntin’ lunatic - Congrats! Have a great hunt.

I didn’t draw the Big Game Combo this year either. Do we know if the Elk Combo or Deer Combo sold out? Really hoping to still go to MT hunting this year

 

[WIbiggame]

Just called FWP they have left over elk combos.
