It would be great if Montana doesn't let me down, my liver can't take to much more "unsuccessful" drinks!

6/6 for myself and my daughter, can't wait. If anyone has unit 76 hints I would appreciate it. Our plan is to stay in Thermopolis and hunt the public land with landowner list as the distant second option. Our experience in 115 last year was great and with the Onx maps and a bit of Google Earth pre-scouting it seems relatively straight forward to find a couple herds.Hunt the public for bucks, if it gets difficult filling doe tags try the ranches with irrigated crops for access. If neither of those work, call the Cody Regional Office of WGFD and ask who is experiencing antelope damage in Area 76.

Drew a Region F general and a doe tag. Somehow I managed to use my saved up preference points to get them :bash:
How'd that happen? you accidentally put it as your first choice? :'(

Drew a any antelope in area 88!
First ever out of state application :)
Cool! I haven't hunted 88, but have been in the neighborhood several times. Depending on when you plan to go, there are a few forest service cabins not too far away that would be fun to stay in for the hunt. Last two weeks of September are generally booked by now, but you can probably get in the first week of October or later. Let me know if interested and I can point you in the right direction.

Got screwed by the points monster again :bash:
Yeah, crazy that G is up to 6 points in the special, and H is 2. Even F requires first choice in the specials, wasn't that long ago (like 2014) you could pick up an F tag in September!

Ya I've always wanted to hunt that country but 6 special points to hunt something that residents can otc? I can't wait to burn and be done with that dang stateGot screwed by the points monster again :bash:

There are 691 Region A deer tags showing up on the leftover list but not everyone who put in for it in the regular non resident points draw got a tag. I am assuming this means the leftovers were the undrawn tags from the special draw. However, if that is how it works then all of the other units that didn't draw out in the special drawn should also have tags (F, R, B, C, etc.). The only regions with leftover tags are A, J, M, T, and X.
What am I missing here?

I thought I understood how the draw works, but I looked and can't figure out why there are leftovers when it shows only 90% of the people with zero points drew region A as their first choice. Good question, hopefully someone can answer it!

You are only looking at the regular draw odds. In the special draw (more expensive draw) only 192 people applied for 1342 tags.

I don't remember this in the last few years. It may be new. @Bigshooter?
I'm not sure how it works. But I see there are leftovers in units that the first list of leftovers sold out in earlier. So it looks like a new list to me.

They had problems with the vendor processing the credit cards on the first day, so some tags were shown as sold initially but the transaction never went through. Wonder if some of those are now back on the list?

Yes--there were definitely a few new ones. I purchased a few a couple weeks ago and I just checked and saw there are now additional (and better :bash:) tags available in buck and antlerless deer and buck and doe antelope. Not sure about elk because I didn't look at them before.
I've got an essentially random handful (units 2-5) of doe tags in the northeast corner that overlap with region A deer. Unit 1 looks like the best unit around there for lopes, but unfortunately I've purchased my quota already.

Anyway....to answer your question, I don't need a magnum because I only shoot slow antelope! :chuckle:
