any word on deer tags

[CamoDup]

whats the word on price??

[YoterHunter]

something like 643 for deer and 912 for deer elk combo.

[kglacken]

Are there going to be over the counter deer tags???

[400out]

This may sound like a stupid question, but if they have 1200 tags left over then that means that everyone that put in for a tag got drawn right 

[TwoBear]

Yes, everybody who put in for the elk combo or elk/deer combo gots a tag, deer combo is subject to draw with 7800 applicants and 4600 tags.

When's the date of the draw?

[DBHAWTHORNE]

Hope I am drawn for a deer tag!

[Bigshooter]

Do you know how many deer elk combo tags they have left?

[Craig]

I think about 1200

Twobear, where did you get your info from? I would love to think that i got drawn for the combo, but wont believe it until I get the tags in the mail. Although I thought going in this year that it was almost a sure thing for people putting for the big game combo.

[WonkyWapiti]

Alot of people like my buddy and I didn't put in this year for the elk/deer combo partially due to the increase in price.  Obviously others did not as well.

Press release from Montana FWP.  15,800 applicants for 17000 tags.  It's a done deal, just face it, your going elk hunting in Montana this fall:)  Congrats!!

So with the 1200 left I take it that is the gross number and there are some areas that are maxed out and others with plenty of tags?  Do they know those details yet? 

Anyone know if there is a cow hunt around Thanksgiving north and west of I-90 (would be willing to dip a bit south of 90 as well)?  Hadn't really considered MT before and will be in ID for Turkey Day.  I will check the regs later, but wanted to see if I could tap someone knowledge first!
