Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

[Raghornkiller]

Just talked to someone on the phone,apparently when they issue the released tags the party applications are split up and that is why some people drew and the rest of the group did not.He said there is nothing you can do when you apply to ensure that the whole party either draws or does not.This might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.I can't see the point of applying as a group going forward if you dont all have the same amount of points

I did check that little box. I even looked on my receipt to see if maybe it would identify on there that I checked the E-tag box. Does your license show up in your app to be able to download?

Yes mine show available to download.

Thats what happened to us. The 2 guys with 2 points got tags but the guy (me) with 1 point didnt get it. According to the explanation that came with the results if the party number is in parentheses everybody in the party drew. Thats why I called FWP and had our app reviewed. Her words were looks like we owe you antag

What tag did you apply for? If it's a big game combo you should not of drawn with less than 2pts.

So simple it's complicated. So complicated it's simple.

My wife has become a bit concerned with how many “PPs” and “back doors” we are talking about here…

So now that we got those antlered crittered draws out of the way… when can I expect my supertags in the mail?

That one made me laugh!

Some fella on Reddit drew 380 with 3 bonus points lol

My cousin drew it last year with not very many points either... he was 19 so not a youth hunt, but didn't have time to have many points... I think it was 3 as well.

My wife drew 291 mule deer with 2 points a few years back... the "lottery" style makes it fun for the 1 or 2 a year that are super lucky lol

Keep us posted. We had same issue, party app and person with 2 pts drew returned tag and 1 pt didn't draw.

If it's for a nonresident big game combo you will not draw. Your party has less than 2 pts

That's what we expected, however the applicant with 2 pts is showing they were successful on a released elk tag and also not successful under the party app.

So your party average was less than 2 points which means your party did not draw a general big game combo.

But not a good chance. Been putting in there since the first year- mid 80's so close to 40 years so far. 10,000 applicants for a total of 135 tags. 13 (10%) go to NR, they give 30+ to land owner preference in that unit, leaves about 92 or so tags for residents.

My buddies 12 y/o just drew it. first year in.... They are not landowners

Not true,they split the party up when they issue the released tags.This is the first year I'm aware of it

That's what we anticipated, but the fwp draw results are showing us otherwise.

I have a question. Yesterday when I logged in I saw a chart that showed that I had been unsuccessful in the initial drawing but had been successful in the drawing from pool of returned licenses.

Today, I don’t see that information. Does anyone know what page to go to to find it?

I applied as a party with a friend for the big game combo. He had one point and I had two. He talked with MFWP this AM and was told the party dissovled for the released tags so I was successful, and he was unsuccessful.

I don't think Montana knows how party apps are supposed to work, what their general utility is.

That's what I told the guy on the phone.
