Official 2026 Montana Draw Thread

Are the B tags issued yet?

June, I believe.

Does anyone know if these odds also include the released tags? Reason I asked is I was awarded a released tag and since I didn’t draw in the first “round” I never made it into the permit draw.

Nope, released tags are just a mystery.

That’s depressing to see the 2 point odds continue to drop. I really thought with the Montana “use or lose” system things would stabilize more. Demand has been pretty steady the past few years IIRC.

IMO if it wasn’t for the outfitter 2 point deal, 2 points would be much more of a sure thing and point creep would be under control.

If people don’t quit talking about it and explaining the system and how to draw.

Eventually it’s gonna take multiple years to get thru the 3 point pool.
