Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

[ORHunter]

Y’all like backdoors? Try going to the buy licenses, log in and then “view current licenses”. It says I’m holding a combo. I’ll believe it when I see it

This route shows that I drew but the funny thing is if I select "items purchased previous year" it shows I was successful on an elk permit that I didn't draw on 2023. Weird.

Found a way in, if you log into online licensing, scroll to the bottoms and hit “view items held for current year” it will show. Worked for me

That worked. Thanks. NR Combo in the pocket!

Maybe next year they will have an option to get your Draw Results earlier than others for an extra $10.

Don't give them ideas

Online licensing worked for me...provided it's accurate

 

[MTHunter1321]

Word on the internet is that there’s a glitch and FWP hasn’t done the draw…I wouldn’t get too high or too low on your results as of right now.

That method shows I drew a general tag. waiting to see if I hit on permit and to confirm this is all accurate.

Had 0 PP's but 4 BP's.

 

[Usi05]

Interesting. Previous times I have drawn the work around was accurate. Not saying that it is now but it has been in the past.

 

[MTHunter1321]

MT FWP is notorious for having issues with this draw. This year appears to be no different. What’s happening is out of the norm even for them, so I don’t think whatever you non-residents are seeing are accurate.

 

[Fisherhahn]

I see what I want in Items Held, but not sure that means the tag is mine

 

[Scottf270]

A problem with the draw in Montana........who woulda thought that........

Someone pointed out on another forum that nonresident general tags had an error already with them showing all successful. I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch...hell at this rate I wouldn't even count the eggs

That’s basically the road to the special draw that wyoming uses

Well that’s just not true. Multiple folks here, myself included, show unsuccessful.

Again I wouldn't bank on backdoor results until they're official. They've screwed it up 3 years in a row so this year it's expected

General rule: ALWAYS screenshot your results. That way when FWP says there’s a “glitch” every year and tries to take tags from those previously successful, you have an argument.

Is anyone showing unsuccessful through the back door licensing site?
I’m showing as holding an elk license

 

[Fishhunt223]

How are you showing unsuccessful? Is the draw results site working for you?

 

[Timberhorn]

I was able to get in. The back door shows I have the license. The lookup shows pending.

 

[FlareBlitz91]

The site was up all morning. It’s only been down for an hour and change.

 

[OkiechasingElk]

If the workaround is accurate I drew a Big Game Combo. NR 2 points. Will be my first time in Montana!
