[badnewskruse]

    You got drawn.

i heard even if you didnt get drawn you can still buy a left over tag until they are sold out. my first year going to montana so im still trying to figure it out ha

Last year tag draw success 100% with over tags available until mid july.

I knew that there were surplus Deer/elk combos.  Were there also surplus Deer combos?

[3nails]

 Yes.

It has been 100% draw rate for 4-5 years now.  Congrats! You are going to Montana on a hunting trip!

Are the leftover tags for general deer or mainly antlerless? We normally just put in for license each year but this year I am thinking we might see how our other draws in other states go and if we don't get anything, we would buy a leftover tag in Montana.

Ever since they jacked the price big time (4 years ago?) there have been left over general deer tags.    Like mentioned above, they were available into June last year.

I'm pretty sure there were a ton of B tags for Whitetail does available as well.

 To be fair, they didn't just arbitrarily jack the prices up, the fee increase resulted in a tag every year rather than every 2 or 3.

We bought OTC last year after the draw.  Don't bother paying for the preference point, not needed.  If you put in, you will draw.  Been that way for 3-4  (?) years now.

True enough.

As I recall, they actually jacked the prices by a citizen's initiative, and also cut the outfitters out of guaranteed tags.

Yup gave outfitters tags to public now everyone has plenty.

 Yep, but by getting rid of the outfitter tags, they needed to recoup the revenue loss.
