The Montana Deer/Elk Draw Week

[8andcounting]

Wow.....just....w-o-w....

Second this

 

[Scrappy]

I do, I hunt w my RAVEN R20, so it helps me get to em with more distance.

A raven r20 is not a bow and I'm not sure you can use it in Montana.

 

[The Hedgehog]

It's that time of the year.

Hey guys, I just drew my MONTANA BIG GAME TAG, but have NO CLUE on what I drew

This was a BUCKET LIST tag for me, so I’m excited!

Everybody starts somewhere. Good luck getting it figured out Tex!

Thanks Scrappy, I cant access this either. But I was told by email that I did draw my deer combo, so very grateful to hear this!

Yup . I gotta admit I laughed out loud - very loud - at the - I don’t know what I even applied for but I drew . Wow just friggin wow

 

[antlerradar]

Thanks JEL. All of your responses are great. Again, I have no clue what I drew, didn’t know I couldn’t use my crossbow, so all the info helps me prepare for this adventure

You can still hunt in a general unit with a rifle.

Hopefully you bow hunt.

900-20 Elk Permit Apply by March 15

It's archery only.

Can't he still hunt with a rifle in the general areas on the west side of the state, or does that permit limit him to archery hunting in those districts?

I would say yes - but he’d better double check that I’m not 100% sure but I think yes is correct answer

Yup correct. He can .

If I didn't know better, I'd think it's Greenhorn trolling us..........
Using all caps gave it away

 

[Elkoholic]

Big game combo for me, bonus included.... Martin boy's pack out services

 

[Cableguy224]

What does this mean, did I draw or not?

Initially you did not, but then you picked up one that somebody turned back when they do not get a special permit. It is a stupid way for FWP to display it and I’m sure it costs them hours of phone wait time by people with the same question as you.

It sounds like people that applied as parties are picking up these release Combos, without everyone in their party getting them as well.

 

[Cableguy224]

Thanks MTGomer. Yeah I tried calling FWP but was on hold too long.

Going with an outfitter this time. Not ideal and surely less satisfying than achieving my first Elk on my own, but I am trying to be the good son and make some memories with my old man. He'll surely never be in the kind of shape it takes to go where I'd rather be ever again. I'm very conflicted.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Making memories with your dad versus a Backcountry hunt? No choice. Memories with Dad should take precedent. Good for you.

Amen...there is no greater comfort for the survivors when one of is is eventually gone than the memories of time - GOOD time you spent together.

Amen if my dad hunted I'd sit in a deer blind waiting all day just to sit there in silence

I just can't get excited to hunt turkeys but Dad loves it. So I buy a tag every year just to spend time hunting with him.
