Montana 2023

[Karl Blanchard]

I’m hesitant to do this, but you huntwa folks are a good bunch, so if you didn’t get drawn for Montana and you are looking for a hunt for this fall, Idaho has a returned tag sale going on Thursday morning at 10 AM mountain time. 304 elk tags, 371 regular deer and 147 whitetail only and 1 DAV deer tag.

How dare you sir ! This is why we can't have nice things

The difference between this year and last year is last year you still had a lot of 3pt players in the game. Not the case this year and going forward. That 1pt will mean something again

I thought maybe if I hid it here in a thread about Montana nobody would notice

Did you get an Idaho tag this year Karl?

I’m gonna try to snag one for my Dad on Thursday.

Since I am sitting out Montana this year, I plan to buy a point and apply next year while buying another point.

If you applied this year and didn’t opt in to the point pool, you cannot buy your preference point during the point buying period

I didn't apply

Nope. With everything going on I elected, which was really tough because I love our Montana hunt, to sit out this year and just buy a point. Hopefully I will be heading back next year

Not yet. Plan was to go hard for all things WY but tag cuts is likely gonna put me out on deer so I'll be trying to scoop an Idaho hunt most likely.

After the cluster earlier draw I would’t touch this if they had 10 times the tags.  What a joke.  For those interested you must be first in line at an idaho tag retailer that is ready and logged in at 10:00 mt time.  Good luck.  There will be guys in line at 100+ locations so don’t give up even the third guy inline might get one.  The online system will be bogged down and all tags will be gone thru local sales in first 15 mins before a single tag is sold online.  Thats how its worked before thats how it will work now.  IMO.

Our part drew general deer tags, thats 3 years in a row now.

The demand for the returned tag sales is not like original sales day. And I’m guessing that a lot of people don’t want to buy tags right now because of winterkill

  I've picked up tags  as well as second tags in Aug every year with no issue. May not always get the tag you want but there's hunts to be done for the guy looking.

Weird that there’s been no official email from Montana fish and game on draw results?

They emailed me 2 days ago stating the draw was complete

I don’t remember getting an email on the actual draw results in the past? Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen though 😂 not really necessary since a lot of people check results every 5 minutes every day for a week prior to the draw ha ha

Interesting. I double checked, no email. I drew deer with 1 point and have rechecked on their website multiple confirming my successfulnesss haha.
