    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I wonder if the buy-a-license/items held backdoor is showing that you've purchased the license (as in they took your money), not that you have been draw? I too show that I have a general elk license, but last time I got in through the hunter search back door earlier this afternoon, it showed...

    That is correct - unlike other states, you don't get a pref point for not being drawn. The only way to begin to accumulate pref points is by electing to purchase a pref point with your draw, which essentially rules you out for that year based on available tags and number of applicants and direct...

    Yep - you can't buy a point later in the summer if you put in for that species' draw earlier in the year.

    Second year in a row attempting to draw general tag with 0 pp, hoping for better luck this time. Tough to skip slightly better odds of hunting same year without points just to buy a point that comes with relative certainty of not hunting that year, all for the purpose of having two points the...

    MT Antelope draw questions

    I had the same issue - was looking for region 7 after the 6s - but its at the top of the draw statistics info available at the link provided above. As I read them, for NR only those who choose that tag as their first choice were successful. and the draw rate among first choice NRs was 16.5%...

    Too soon to ask when unsuccessfuls get our refund? Is that via credit to source of payment, or paper check, etc? Ready to drown sorrows in unnecessary gear acquisition.

    How does this work - for the count of licenses sent back as rejected w/out drawing LE permit, do they just run a second drawing from among all of us who did not get the license in the first round?

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    First time NR applicant from TX, going for General Elk with 0pp. Wondering if most new NRs assumed, like I did, that same-year odds were best going in with 0…and all my first time NR friends now have longer odds with that approach. Good luck to all.
