How would your odds be greater applying separately? --- End quote --- They are much greater on limited entry tags because there could be one tag left and you get drawn as a pair so your application is tossed out. For the combo, your odds are mathematically lower but not enough to worry about. The bigger concern in my mind is if one of you draws and one doesn't, if you are good with that. If so, send it |

Pretty sure 3 points will still be 100% draw odds for big game combo...So what Gentrys said. I'd apply as a group, both buy the pref point, and y'all should be guaranteed a tag. Last year's stats: 3pts - 100% 2pts - 84% 1pts - 0% 0pts - 53% |

The difference in odds isn't enough to even take into consideration |

Ya I would put in as a group - good chance you will draw. We basically hunt Montana every year - horn tags every other year and B tags on the off years |
