I’m in shock! .6% odds based on last years numbers.

Congrats. I don’t know anything about it but looking forward to following along.

Nice, Congrats, that'll be awesome, def gotta update us on the hunt, process, etc.  I'd like to do that hunt someday, be nice get some useful do's and don'ts from your experience.  I didn't draw squat, haven't in the 3 years here, be nice to pull a rifle elk tag in the snowies someday since it's my backyard, only like a 1 in five chance, so not that of bad odds.  But, it's MT, so not drawing ain't no big deal!

I’m excited. It’s not a sheep or goat hunt but I never expected to have the chance to hunt free range bison on public land in my life. I’ll be sure to share the experience here

Nothing for me, but thats OK, a Wyoming goat tag is enough to focus on.

Congrats. Bison hunting is an awesome experience. I've been fortunate enough to draw bison tags in Wyoming and South Dakota and I think you're in for an incredible experience. I struck out for Montana moose, sheep & goat but the Wyoming goat tag that came in the mail yesterday eases the pain.

Sounds like there will be some very unhappy people in the next few days.  Staff entered the wrong number of available tags in a few sheep and moose units resulting in too many people being selected.  A bunch of folks who thought they hit the lottery are going to get bad news soon.
