I’m guessing there may be less people applying for Montana this year given the price of fuel, reduction of deer tags and the sheer cost of applying. Just spent $1,576 for my chance to draw an general combo tag with 2 points…

Last year I thought maybe the odds would go <100% for 3 points but was wrong.  Pretty much the same odds between 2024 and 2025, they may have even recovered a little.  Just pay the extra $100 for the third point when you apply and I'm guessing it it'll be a slam dunk.

Still haven’t decided, pretty gross what it’s turned into over there. And I’ve got 25 years over there. Personally I’d like to see em shut er down for non residents for 5 years, cut doe tags drastically, and some kinda antler restriction. It’s disgusting what folks kill/post from over there. 👍

Well, my odds of drawing increased this spring to 100%. Then again the cost to move this winter was similar to non-resident tags, but I only pay once!

Me and the boys are looking forward to a good fall.

Best of luck with the draw.

Maybe 1 day Montana will get with the times and refund credit cards instead of mailing a paper check  2 months later  :rolleyes:

Well then they'll miss out on 2 months of compounded interest, which probably generates >1 mil.  Unlikely!
