I hope your right but I haven’t talked to anyone that normally puts in that hasn’t this year  have you or anyone else been hearing different?

[jjhunter]

I’m out this year.  Got a couple good tags of my own and gonna help a couple buddies with really good tags.   

I’ll just buy bonus and preference points for the future.

I'm out, just can't justify $700 for a deer tag this year.

[Muley Chaser]

I finally decided to put in tonight.

That’s what I’m hoping for!

I've got the vacation already scheduled for mid November,  but I decided to not put in. Hrs cut at work talks of layoffs sons job disappeared.  It's getting rough here. Hope you all draw.

Myself and my group are in for deer and applied for special elk permits. Will turn my elk tag back in if successful in the big game combo but unsuccessful special elk permit.

No kidding. We normally do deer/elk but we should draw our Oregon tags so going to focus on that and just hope we draw deer

I'm in for deer.  I saw on Eastmans blog that nonresident applicants were down 37%

I saw that too, figured this year will be good probability to get a deer tag. Might even be left-overs?

[jstone]

That would pretty much guarantee

[Bluemoon]

I drove from Chehalis to Conrad, MT.  Today the amount of animals I saw was amazing.  Between  Bonner and Lincoln easley 400 Elk and herds of deer everywhere. Then between Vaughn and Conrad Antelope by the 100's. It was very nice to see. I 'd have to say the winter survival rate was excellent. We needed this mild winter this year. Good luck to all that put in for the draws.  Now for a good nights sleep and back to Chehalis in the morning.

Do you know if this is overall, or just deer? I'd be willing to pick up a leftover nonres deer/elk combo if Utah doesn't pan out. Thanks.

It says applications are down 37%, not much more detail.

It’s a weird feeling being happy that my chances of drawing are higher, but then realizing why many folks aren’t applying. I feel for anyone who is in a rough spot and can’t apply. Hope you guys all get back to whichever states that you like to hunt as soon as possible. Strange times for sure.

[Tbob]

I’m in for deer for the second time. I had an absolute blast last year!

[HAGEMANIAC]

When do Montana leftovers go on sale? I'm hearing Aug 10.

A little off-topic, but reading that blog link left me uneasy with how states like Montana might be handling this information.  Having insider knowledge on draw odds during the app period doesn't seem right to me...no more than insider trading on stocks...maybe less of a concern for general season 'where are we at' stats, but individual permit hunts...

Friend told me draw date got pushed back to the 20th.

draw date was always scheduled for the 20th

[Duckslayer89]

I remember seeing a thread on here saying we could apply until the 20th as well

so my friend didn't lie.

I put in for Deer and Antelope this year. I heard that non resident applications was down 37% this year so it sounds like if you put in you will get it. Good luck to everyone

[Craig]

If you put a youth in for license or permits in montana check your email. I got one this morning saying I didn’t give them all the information and it has to be done by Sunday or the youths license will be kicked out and a refund sent.

I swear MT has the most complicated system .everything was online only this year and you wouldn't think they would have accepted the youth application if I was missing half the information.

When I last looked their website said Apr 20.

No way. April 1 was deadline. Should've just left at March 15th like they've always done. Non-resident application percentage would be down even higher.

[Stein]

I’m guessing MT’s goal wasn’t to reduce NR applications.
