I didn't apply either But I may pick up a leftover tag if I don't get drawn for anything this year.

I don't like it because I have to draw a tag before I can be my son's sponsor and get him a youth combo at the reduced youth price. This means it's too late for him to put in for the limited entry antlered mule deer permits. If I draw the special permit for antlered mule deer we can't hunt the same unit since you have to hunt in only the unit where you drew the special permit.
I do like that the youth combos are unlimited now.

It's another late winter shaping up for the 2nd year in a row.

I don't know what part of the state you hunt but in the SE it wasn't the snow that was the problem. Last year it warmed enough to melt the snow but not dry out, then additional cold fronts froze the ground and created a lot of ice that kept the critters from feeding.
The late spring did have a positive effect on the food, the deer and elk in the SE had loads of it.
I spoke with my friends over there this weekend and the temps are warmer than here. Lows have been in the mid 40's and highs this week will be in the 70's, 75 expected for the weekend.

JLS:
I recall several feet of snow falling on the Rocky Mtn Front in June before. I think it's a little early to panic yet. Remember last year?

I know that Glacier national park and the Bob Marshall have over 100% snow pack in the mountains.
