Got mine too.  I am still operating off Teacherman's theory that no one is putting in for the draws because of the economy, so I should be able to get drawn for both Deer A Combo and Antelope first year trying... :chuckle:
I got my regs with my Antelope app.

i was going to put in for that this year so i would not get drawn and have apoint for nextyear but decided against it because with my luck i would get drawn and not be able to go.

Uh, that's kind of what I was doing... I never really expected to get drawn.   Especially for Deer A with no points.  Oh well guys, I guess there's one less name that you'll have to compete with for the WA draws... points only for me this year....

I don't get enough time off to go crazy, and I already committed to antelope hunting with my sister and brother in law in MT this season, so my plans just changed a lot.  Montana, here I come!!! :IBCOOL:

THat's 2 draws in 3 years for you, isn't it 270?  Congrats man.  You kept warning me that I could get drawn.  I normally have horrible luck in draws, but you were right.

That unbeleivable Bonehntr!!! Remember though that only one person is in the draw, even still I cant beleive that. Did you apply online or by mail?
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: WABONEHNTR on April 14, 2009, 12:26:24 PM
online.  So only one name goes in the draw.  How is that fair?
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: boneaddict on April 14, 2009, 12:28:39 PM
Better tell Mray to cough up $20, can't say its a better cause than buying Swaros, but definately cheaper.   :chuckle:   and he didn't need to spend it on points. LOL
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: huntnphool on April 14, 2009, 12:41:03 PM
What they do is take the number of points and divide by the number in the group to come up with an average rounded down. Then the leader in the group is put in the drawing, if he draws then thay all draw. They used to put everyone in the drawing which would have given you guys a 99% chance but they changed it several years ago to just be the leader, of course this is just what MFW&P told me.
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: WABONEHNTR on April 14, 2009, 01:01:09 PM
Ok that makes sense.  Guess I have to settle with a sheep tag and speed goat tag.
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: huntnphool on April 14, 2009, 01:20:14 PM
Ok that makes sense.

Ya it might make sense but its still hard to beleive you didnt draw with that many points :dunno:
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: WABONEHNTR on April 14, 2009, 01:23:04 PM
Ya I have a few friends who drew with 1 pt.  I had better get drawn for antelope.  Have 4 points.

Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: WABONEHNTR on April 14, 2009, 01:30:38 PM
What a major let down when you know you should draw and you start making plans and then you have to call them (MFW) to make sure that you are reading it right. I hate that feeling.
Title: Re: MONTANA
Post by: boneaddict on April 14, 2009, 01:31:28 PM
I had 5 points for deer up until last year then said screw this I want to go elk hunting too then drew the combo when I found out the points were good for any of them.


I'll PM you Mray.   CONGRATS......this will give you some incentive to try and not pull that trigger jsut one more day. LOL

Got drawn for the combo. Answer me this, how can I get drawn for Montana on a group hunt when I've been trying to get drawn in Washington for 11 years on all the good tags and I don't get crap? I always hunt Idaho but I have have a buddy from Butte that talked me into Montana on a group tag. Hopefullly it pans out. Did I mention that I love Idaho???

Because in Montana you HAVE to draw in order to hunt, and what you drew is still a general season hunt although the number of non-residents is limited. It is much easier to draw than the "good tags" in Washington. You wanna get drawn for something in this state? Apply for doe and cow tags.   :chuckle:

Welcome to the site. I hope you stick around and post some pictures and stories of your Montana hunt.
