Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

[mountainman406]

While we wait this weekend, I am genuinely curious what season everyone plans to hunt if they draw. I added a poll to the post, feel free to vote if you want.

2 weeks to draw + 2 + weeks to refund = at least 30 days of interest. Just sayin...

They used to just mail out all special draw tags- the 3rd week of August. So no matter what they do someone won't like it.

All of them since I’ll get 3-4 bonus tags from FWP

You're gonna need those bonus tags after finding out yesterday you didn't draw with two points using the Hunter Search sneak peak.

Just got off the phone with them and that said "early next week. Can't say for sure Monday"

Every time 20 people call asking they add a day to the draw period....

Edit should have read the 3 pages after this first all saying the same thing

What a great tool, thanks for sharing

Whenever one of my boys askes "when are we going/leaving" i say 1 hour after the last time you ask.

Don't you guys know its bad luck to check early?

 

[Felton]

I guess I need to sit on my hands and quit checking…

My sources said that Gianforte was upset that his wealthy buddies didn't get the tags they wanted. So Greg called up his henchman Hank and asked him to take the weekend to correct this mistake.

At least rifle, maybe both, depends on draws elsewhere and what I’ve got time for. I also usually like to spend September and the start of October with a shotgun chasing other game. Nice thing about MT’s long seasons is that i can be flexible with it.

That verifying and triple checking worked so well last year...I would follow the same process this year.

Following the Idaho Process…

No, but I’m curious

Last year 2 points was 98% according to the people on the phone in MT.

I was #42,000+ - LOL. That was when I could finally get on. It was a lousy process.

Gotta disagree with this one and I'm no democrat. Bullock was born and raised in Montana btw, not New Jersey. And never had a lawsuit against Montana to fight the stream access law. And didn't have MOGA chairing the fish and game commission.

100% correct. Any man and I mean ANY man who’s a billionaire and doesn’t quietly slip off into the sunset with a humble smile that gets into politics isn’t in it for the reasons of the common men and women of this country, they’re in it for personal ego. I’m as red as a cardinal but our current governor’s agenda reminds me of Carlins famous bit “it’s a BIG club…. And you AIN’T in it.”

Last year deer combo was 1.2 points and up was 100% odds if I’m looking correctly. One of the guys in my group was confused and bought bonus points instead of preference whoops haha

I did that before!

Makes one wonder why Montana just doesn't call them general draw points and limited entry points to eliminate any confusion.
