Already not looking good for me

I’m at #220 for the big game combo. Hoping it’s good enough. Where you at?

I’m at 566 for big game combo

ASHQUACK · « **Reply #3 on:** July 07, 2025, 07:21:44 AM »

Well, all I can say is at least neither of you are at 1153.

huntnnw · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2025, 08:07:27 AM »

I’m 864 on biggame combo . Won’t be hunting there this year

pickardjw · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2025, 08:13:20 AM »

This tracking spreadsheet from 2024 is helpful. Buddy is #1270 so we’re looking at some OTC tag options so he can still make the trip. Only one out of six that didn’t draw (3 big game combo, 3 deer only)

At 220 you should be good!

elkaholic123 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 07, 2025, 08:32:01 AM »

#713 for me! Looks like no hunting Montana for me!

Wingin it · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2025, 09:58:46 AM »

My buddy is at 28 on the deer combo. He should get notice as soon as they fire up sales I would think. He was the only one of us that didn’t draw this year so that will make a clean sweep! Good luck to you guys on the list. Some years it can go pretty deep and others not so much.

I was #12 and got the email today.

Looks like I am hunting MT after all this year!

TT13 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2025, 11:30:26 AM »

Britt-dog · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2025, 03:44:26 PM »

#205 for deer combo. Best number I've ever had. Fingers crossed.

Better odds of drawing a desert unit tag in WA I'd say haha. I think in 2023 they got close to #500 but those guys were getting reached out to in like, November.

huntnnw · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2025, 05:33:33 PM »

If your wanting to hunt September elk than you better be less than 150

Wingin it · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2025, 06:28:33 PM »

My buddy got the deer combo today and he was at 28 to start.

bear · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2025, 06:06:48 AM »

Down from 220 to 134 now

Sakko300wsm · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2025, 09:22:05 AM »

Down to 480 from 566, then quit moving the last couple days

Anyone know how far up the list they went last year for deer combo?

yogi · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2025, 10:42:18 PM »

A guy sitting at 479 on deer combo got the email on November 18 is the best I can find

CaNINE · « **Reply #24 on:** July 10, 2025, 05:52:10 AM »

Ok thanks yogi

Edminsterquality · « **Reply #25 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:47:06 PM »

Any idea on big game combo last year?

Fletch · « **Reply #26 on:** July 11, 2025, 01:32:10 PM »

I am confused? I thought the application process was open until 07/15 and they randomized after that. A couple years ago I was excited to be #119 then they randomized after that and ended up 1200 or so. The number shown is your current status or will they randomize after the 15th?

Fletch · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2025, 01:44:18 PM »

am I reading this right?

2 different things!

TT13 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 11, 2025, 02:16:09 PM »

The alternate lists closed on June 30th, the surplus lists are open until July 15th.

Fletch · « **Reply #30 on:** July 11, 2025, 02:17:01 PM »

HUH! after further reading I see that now... well I am happy to be sitting at 260... so there is a chance! Thank you for the clarification.

That was me and I wish it would have been a week earlier I would have gone. My buddy was 670 and didn’t get an email

See post #5 on the first page.

tdot24 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 14, 2025, 08:24:52 AM »

Moved about another 30 today(for the week).

Sakko300wsm · « **Reply #34 on:** July 16, 2025, 03:55:08 PM »

ya not looking good - down to 448 , but stoked to atleast have a pocket full of B tags

TT13 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 21, 2025, 09:39:30 AM »

Only moved 6 spots on the deer combo today

Sakko300wsm · « **Reply #36 on:** July 21, 2025, 10:36:19 AM »

moved 20 for big game combo

MackDaddy509 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 21, 2025, 12:12:15 PM »

Pretty slow moving

I was sitting at 250 (roughly) for the Deer Combo alternates list in 2022. And I was told that was a good spot… never got the email.

tdot24 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 21, 2025, 12:37:30 PM »

Yeah, I’m shocked at how slow it is moving now, although it started earlier this year I feel, will pick up again as we go.

Fletch · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2025, 09:44:18 AM »

Deer Combo dropped another 20. Not sure I will make it at 207...

bear · « **Reply #40 on:** July 29, 2025, 05:38:00 AM »

Big game dropped 29 I believe. I’m down to 53 and starting to make plans.

TT13 · « **Reply #41 on:** July 31, 2025, 02:23:51 PM »

I’m down to 119 on the deer combo, hoping it picks up the pace this week.
