How long does it usually take for them to process refunds for the losers?

Last year my check was dated April 25. So probably received it several days later.

Drew the combo with no points & an elk permit. Today was a good day

Not understanding… unsuccessful on big game combo but still pending for elk permit 1st & 2nd choice?

Would only be pending if there is still a chance for returned combo

I’m a MT resident. Permit for both. Wasn’t really expecting either, but I’ll make it work!

Regardless, that’s amazing. Congrats! It’s awesome but at the same time when you’ve got multiple high stakes permits to fill in one season it can get to be stressful at times. Best of luck and I hope you fill them both!

Big game combo with two points. No limited entry permits.

2 Points was not a guaranteed tag this year for the Combo. Anyone not draw with 1.5 for Deer only?
