As phool mentioned, there is obviously a glitch. Those who chose the refunds if they were unsuccessful for the special draw, were shown as not selected for the combo. As he stated, they probably will award them a deer combo since refunding the elk part.
no deer tag for me..looks like ID now
phool, do you think it is the same if we put in just for an elk combo and not the deer/elk combo?

The system glitch is that they don't have a way to show that you now have a "Deer Combo" rather than "Big Game Combo". I'm sure they will have it fixed for next years drawing, after giving us a heart attack this year. I could not figure out how I could not draw a combo when I had two points and the big game combo was under prescribed by several hundred applicants. I checked my point total and saw it at 0 but have 2 bull permit points.

A LOT of guys like me put in for the "Big Game Combo" and chose to forfeit our elk tags if we did not draw bull tags for specific areas. Montana has had a difficult time getting hunters to harvest the quota of elk the last several years, even going so far as to extend the season into the middle of December in 2009 and 2010. Now couple that with the fact that a lot of us are not even going to hunt elk since we didn't get the tag we wanted and I think you have pretty good odds of getting a elk tag if you contact them.
