2025 Montana alternate draw question

I'm number 316 / 1552 for Deer. Seems like I may get a chance at the tag. albeit, likely, later this fall. Anyone willing to share their number in the queue when their number gets called as we move towards the fall? I'm curious to know ~what number in the queue is currently being offered and how this queue progresses into Aug/Sept/Oct, etc..
I'm currently 205 for deer. Pretty good chance I'll get called. Ill let you know if it happens
 
Why doesn't FWP simply post what number they are at on a daily basis for the 3 alternate lists? Everyone keeps the number they are originally drawn instead of seeing their number "move up" as the days tick by. Would make it easier to plan ahead I think.
 
Yeah, I'll be packing a side arm! we've hunted deer on the east side a handfull of times, but this will be a first time for elk and after the last time for deer, I'm quite fearful on what to expect for pressure? There's just so many trucks, camps, people. Guess we'll find out!?

The pressure is insane. Between all the Midwesties with Go Hunt decals on their trucks, the wolves and the residents the hunting in Montana has gone way downhill.
Definitely carry a bear gun. There's griz basically everywhere.

My guess is that this would make their lives more difficult.

Im 1775 out of 1915 right now.... fingers crossed....
 
I started out at 51 on the alternate deer combo list. Got my email this morning. Tag is purchased!
 
How do you know where you started out originally? I'm currently at 81 for big game combo because I just now checked.

The first email they send is your starting number. Mine was 112. Got the email today to purchase and I obliged.
 
I’m 200 of 1800 on the list right now. What are your guys’ thoughts on being called prior to rifle season?

Which list are you on? I'm on the elk combo, I started at 188 and I'm now #1. My guess is the amount of tags available will start drastically dropping to just a few a week. My gut feeling is you will not see another 200 tags become available. But it is Montana and anything is possible.
 
Good I formation
