Hopefully the odds to draw are with you. I probably wont draw this year only 6 elk and 5 deer points

we put in for deer/elk combo yesterday too. Its a hit to the pocketbook but the hunting there is worth it

Nope combo

Interesting. Can’t remember ever not drawing when I put in for combo.  Usually just do the deer combo.

There's the option where if you don't draw the special permits you apply for they send most of your money back.

Ya, I know.  That’s why I asked if it was just the combo. Makes sense

Last year several people I know or hunt with did not draw the combo. I would assume it will be the same or worse this year.. The worse hunting gets in Washington the worse the draw odds get in Montana. ;)

51% of the people with 0 points drew the big game combo last year.  It's a pretty safe bet that will drop to below 50% this year.

gohunt is showing big game combo at 54% draw odds for general tags, Deer only is showing 60% draw odds for general tags.  If im not mistaken you have to draw a general to even put in for a limited tag.
