Montana draw

[vandeman17]

Mine still shows all my preference points there too. I am assuming they have to verify all general combo drawings before doing the permit drawing.

Are you guys seeing that you drew the Big Game Combo successfully on the "Drawing Results" tab on the My FWP website?

Yep mine shows successful.

Montana Big Game Combo results came up this am.

Checked early with no results available. Checked later this am and filled in the MyFWP info and our group went 5 for 5 for successful draws. No one paid the extra $50 for the preference point.

Was told that the BG Combo had more applicants than licenses this year for the first time in years. Don't know how many they had over 15,000, but my guess is they don't want to send any money back for unsuccessful draws, so we will see if anyone doesn't draw.

May not be many/any leftover licenses this year. Spoke to our outfitter a little while ago, and he said there were several thousand leftovers last year. Suspect more folks are looking at Montana and Idaho due to challenging draws in other states in concertwith the winter weather this past year. Have a nephew in Durango CO and he thinks there will be reduced opportunity in his area this year.

Hope all who applied successfully draw!

They give out 17,000 big game combo's.  I have heard only a little over 15,000 applications for them.

I checked for my buddy & myself. We both were "unsuccessful"  We applied separately for the big game combo. We may need to come up with a plan B if there are no other deer tags from somewhere. 

So what happened then?

I bet the draw is going on now and people's status is updated if and when their number is drawn.

Mine shows successful for elk. I think it was a guaranteed draw but if any case it's nice be drawn for something because I think my WA draws will be bleak this year.

I just talked to a buddy that applied in a group of 4.  His group shows 2 successful, 1 pending, and 1 unsuccessful.  The one pending shows that he holds a 2017 tag and the 2 successful and 1 unsuccessful don't show anything under "items held". 

I don't think it's time to get excited or panic yet.  I think they are having problems.


I show unsuccessful for a big game combo but still pending for an elk permit.

I applied as a group of 2. Both now show successful.

Everyone I know drew, anyone know when the special permit results come out for Montana, I thought they were the same time.

Heading back to my favorite place on earth! 4 out of 5years and loving it. Congrats to all else who drew!

[fishsticks]

We drew deer combo!

As did my wife and I.  It will be our first time hunting Montana.  Thankfully we know some folks that have and were gracious enough to point us to a general area with decent success rates and block management access.
