100% in the same boat, still haven't got over it. Still pissed off.

You fellows should send a FOIA request to FWP asking for a break down of the draw by preferences points with the outfitter point distinction broken out as well. I find it very odd that FWP changed the way they published the nonresident combo draw odds the same year they instituted the outfitter point. I could be wrong, but I’ve yet to hear of an outfitted client not drawing with two points. . .

Anyone get their tags in the mail yet? I should have gone with an e tag. Can’t remember if it arrived and I’ve misplaced it or not.

I printed out what I assumed was my tag but it didn't include a carcass tag. I had emailed Montana and they responded they are in the process of sending them out but that was 2 weeks ago. Does anyone know if Montana normally supplies a Carcass tag?

I feel sorry for the hunters who didn't draw with 2 points. I am very happy that I did draw with only 2 points but I wasn't real sure I would and prepared myself for the letdown I thought was coming since I didn't draw during the 1st round.
It's a tough pill to swallow for sure.

As a resident this year my wife drew a permit. For the first time in four years both of us have received our tags. Yes for those who ask I do select mail to not the print at home or eTag. Gotta love MTfwp.

I drew a special permit two years ago and this includes all of our generals as well for the last four years. It’s quite disappointing

Two years ago I just printed my carcass tag from the website.

I haven’t received mine but I know they don’t start mailing till June, so I’m unconcerned. I can’t believe that some guys had two points and didn’t draw. That would be disheartening. I got mine with two points. My understanding was that your odds were 97% with two points, so I was expecting a tag although realized that I could’ve been in the 3%. Odds are a funny thing. I actually drew a hard to get limited entry tag with only 2 bonus points, so if can go either way. I’m just excited to get out this fall.
