The Montana Deer/Elk Draw Week

Hey guys, I just drew my MONTANA BIG GAME TAG, but have NO CLUE on what I drew, or what it comes with. I’ve hunted for 30+ years here in SOUTH TEXAS, and a buddy convinced me to go to MT to get my ELK & MULE DEER this year. Luck would have it, I drew and he didn’t. Can anyone give me some insight on what my tag means and what I have in store for this adventure come this fall? Thanks guys !

Congrats on the draw! Curious why you didn't do a party app?

My buddy put in, and he did a party park with his other military buddies, they drew for the MULE DEER RIFLE, so he said I can go w them for the rifle , but at this moment , the ELK would be all alone

That was “somewhat helpful”. Have u hunted MONTANA with the 900-20 tags I have? What EXACTLY does it allow me to harvest? sorry for all the questions, but again, I’ve never hunted MT before, and never have I put in for an out of state tag. This was a BUCKET LIST tag for me, so I’m excited!

Either sex elk (not moose or mule deer). This means you can shoot a male or a female. One with those things coming out of their head, or one without.

I have not hunted elk in MT. You'll just need to spend a lot of time in the regs between now and then. That permit is good for a huge swath of ground, good luck figuring it out! That's half the fun (or more).

Cross bows are not legal in Montana during general archery season . Time to dust off the compound and start practicing. You have a good licence. Search this forum for places in the 900-20 hunting districts and you will get a wealth of information.

I am a disabled Vet, so all I need to do is fill out that disabled form and I’m good. Atleast that is what my buddy told me.
