Official Montana 2025 Draw Thread

[Packer9037]

In looking back at previous years post, I can see the day the draw takes place but I don’t see any times. I’m thinking we usually start seeing “draw is in progress” around 8-8:30 MST….if you think of it, the first couple ppl who see “draw is in progress” and “successful/unsuccessful” maybe put a timestamp on your post.

Don’t forget, they usually spread it over a few days.

**edit for context: this was a joke because it takes them multiple days to sort out what they F up every year

Hasn’t started yet I guess. Mine and my wife’s profile still says no successful or unsuccessful draws. The draw still says pending.

 

[whaack]

still says pending for me

Anyone use the back door method on the app to check?

When you check your drawing status

no they don't, the entire draw is done in a single day

Looks like guys started getting drawn around 11-11:30 a couple years ago. So I’d say we still have an hour or two before we start getting tags.

Since it hasn’t started yet, I’m guessing it’s not going to happen today

 

[Jaegerr]

Well I guess not today either?

Nope, according to FWP they’re still “compiling the data”. Said it would still be sometime this week, they just don’t know when yet. Every year it’s something…

Compiling data? You'd think all of it being online that would be automatic, but what do I know

That’s what the office in town told me when I called, I agree with your line of thinking. With a background in IT, their “process” for the draw every year leaves me wondering wtf they’re doing…

Jeez guys, it takes a while to print out the spreadsheet and cut all those little pieces of paper up before they go in the tumbler?!

This is exactly what is expected from a government monopoly.

Bob in the back is hard keying it all into a blank excel sheet with just his pointer fingers

Folks on HT are seeing combos released through the backdoor email check. No confirmed permit draws though

 

[mpb21]

Seems like something might be happening, NR friends saying their preference points are no longer visible. Well see....
