Title: Montana roster hunts
Post by: Stein on August 14, 2014, 08:15:43 PM: I just noticed that I am #2 on the elk roster for the area I put in for. Anyone get a roster call before? How long advance notice do they give you? I just signed up and don't really know too much about the program.

Not in the title before I opened the thread. Failed attempt at being funny. Never heard of it either.

Post by: Stein on August 16, 2014, 12:01:06 PM: I can be there in about 11 hours unless I happen to be on a work trip. Still number 2 and keeping my fingers crossed.

Post by: Stein on October 20, 2014, 09:25:37 PM: Still #2 for elk in 315, can't remember why I picked that one.

#22 for deer in 315 as well.

Heading out Thursday for elk, deer & antelope. Hopefully I won't need a backup plan.
