The Montana Deer/Elk Draw Week

[ErictheRed]

Super stoked. I drew my big game combo. I can now buy my daughter her first youth big game combo tag!

 

[HSi-ESi]

Ben Lamb with the draw.

I get to hunt elk again this year! Not a special tag though.

 

[Nameless Range]

Took a while, but I’m looking forward to spending time at my brother’s cabin and hunting elk in chunks of country I have only ever hunted blue grouse prior.

 

[MTHunter1321]

Congrats Nameless! Pretty nonchalant announcement

 

[Tradewind]

It is back up on the site, but some NRs are getting their results showing up in both successful and unsuccessful for the same license. I didn't believe it, so he sent me a screen shot. Weird stuff.

I am getting the same thing. Wait til later?

Nice Nameless, looking forward to an update as you scout and hunt.

Living the dream!

I’ll be archery hunting The Breaks for the first time. I’m excited to see some new country.

 

[Grundy53]

I drew a deer combo with 1 pp.

 

[Hunting Wife]

Bull permit for the Breaks. First good thing I’ve ever drawn.

1/4 in my group all separate with 1 pp. can’t understand how people with 0 points draw a second chance tag (says resleased ) but a guy with 1 point don’t .... yeh I know it’s separate draws to begin with but the draw for the returned tags ( guys that didn’t get a permit so they opted out of bg combo) should go to pp holders ......

Thought it's because it's based on bonus points?

The second draw ? I dunno if it is or not

 

[Nick87]

Not 100% that was just my assumption.

Must be Otherwise I would have drawn . I personally know a guy that drew in the second draw with 0 pp. I had 1 pp. most disappointed that I had no shot at a permit . You can’t even be entered in permit draw if you don’t draw a NR combo first . Oh well , onto the alternates list

 

[Gerald Martin]

That looks to be a great time coming up Ben. Congratulations!

What combo? FWP could have presented this better. I drew on the first pass, my buddy drew on the second (released).....but it was hard not to look at that big fat elk combo in the unsuccessful column and think that you weren't drawn, especially when compared to my results. We all assumed that released meant the results were.

There are elk combos leftover but no deer and elk or deer combos.

I applied for the Big game combo . 1 pp . And applied for s breaks permit with 7 points but didn’t even get entered for that cuz I didn’t draw the combo .

Could be a blessing in disguise.. a chance to get out and hit some new states/areas! Wyoming and South Dakota deer still coming up.

Did you ask for a refund if no permit drawn?

I wonder if the second pass is all random?
