Montana 2023

[idaho guy]

Yeah, we'll be going.  Still a pretty good value in my opinion.

 

My bro just told me Big Sky is up to $250 a day and you stand in line all day.

 

Wow. From that perspective deer and elk tags are a value! Lol that seems ridiculous but puts things in perspective

So my head is spinning a little and it's not just the Weller..

I really want to draw the combo this year and I have 2 points right now.... should I buy the point?

I hope it's not a repeat of the Idaho Cluster 

Idaho was a cluster? 😂😂😂

Not if you are a Res!  Heh
Son was #1800 out of #30,000+ applicants  and couldn’t get a tag so yea cluster for non-res.

You mean he didn’t get the specific tag he wanted not that he couldn’t get a tag.

I just looked at gohunt odds and for non resident deer combo they show 74% with 0 points, 0% with 1 point, 97% with 2 and 100% with 3

I'm not a math whiz......why are the odds 0% for 1 point?

  75% of tags go to the points pool. 25% go to the zero point pool. All the 75% quota went to 2 and 3 point holders leaving 0 tags for 1pt holders. The zero point guys still had that allocated 25% to pull from.

  I was like number 33k and there were lots of tags still available.  Some good ones too.

These appear to be the odds for the non resident BIG GAME combo: 74% with 0 points, 0% with 1 point, 97% with 2 and 100% with 3

DEER COMBO is: 0- 54%, 1- 17%, 2- 100%, 3- 100%

Can anyone show the Antelope Odds?

Can anyone show the Antelope Odds?

Antelope odds are a different story.  All of the deer and elk tags that everyone is talking about on this thread are general tags.  All antelope tags in Montana are limited entry or region specific. there are no general antelope tags in Montana.   So odds are different for every unit and region in the state. They are all issued (I think) with a bonus point system where all of the general tags are issued on a preference point system I do believe.  Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on the specific point nomenclature.

If I bought a point in January and buy another point now am I going in with 2?
