Numbers are indeed down in the SE, which has led to my apprehension. Montana manages for opportunity and not for quality. Especially with their 5 week long during the rut seasons. If you are hunting public or Bock Management then a 150-160 buck is exceptional and few and far between. Now if you are limited entry or have special private access that is different. If you are looking for an above 160 average on public access you will be eating a lot of $800 deer tags. Won’t be the last time!

Buddy lost his two points by missing last year then bought the point this yea so he has zero chance of drawing I let him know…. I called MT to see if he could cancel his point but no. You might get lucky she said - how? Well if not very many 2 and 3 pointers apply there could be some tags for 1 pointers. Really?
Not sure if it'll be this year or next but the one point thing will level off. You can't point build anymore with the new rule.
Meaning that guys just can't buy the point and not put in for the tag, build points for a few years then cash them in on a "guaranteed" tag?

You can no longer go consecutive years without applying so best case a guy could buy a point in the fall (or buy a point when they apply in the spring) and then the following spring buy a point and apply in the spring and go in with 2pts.
