1373 and 1374. No way that was random?
-
Buddy is 1178
-
me 1021
My Boy-201.......Maybe?
-
I was 480 last year and I was offered a tag early September. I would thing anyone 600 or less should have a good chance to get tag before nov
-

Exactly, we are 1472 & 1473! No way it was randomized, as their website claims. I will be calling them (along with many others) Monday, to see if there is some sort of explanation.
Complete bull!

Your a maybe. your son is pretty much guaranteed a tag

Between my brother,a friend and his son and me we were 2484,2485,2486 and 2487. This doesn’t make sense to me.

All depends on the year . Last year I was # 698 . Got the call a week or two after the 4th of July that I had a tag . Year before buddy was 287 , he got the call 4 days before end of season that he could have a tag .

I am #31 for the deer combo, my son is 128, the rest of my buddies are over 1000.

Did not do a party application.Didn’t even put in for the general draw this year.
-
I’m 442 for deer elk combo. 2020 is a strange year, record applications ect. Makes me wonder if all those newbies will hunt or back out closer to season.

@ Fishmaker57 @ Connorw, Did you guys ( or anybody else with sequential numbers ) call Montana ? Curious to hear what they told you ?
-
So when do people usually start getting contacted? August September?
Can you be contacted in October?

you can be contacted up until the last day of the season. As a tag is returned it is then offered up to next in line.

Anything is possible. I had 698 last year and got the call a week after 4th of July , buddy had 1015ish and got the call
Although year before a buddy was 287 and got the call 4 days before season ended.

Do they update where they’re at on the list.

They go surprisingly far sometimes because the names ahead of you can say no as well. Some guys already have plans by the time they get the call. Once the season starts some don't want to pay for a tag for a partial season too.
-

Usually yes. Last year varied from a couple days in between to weeks .
-
So you can look on their website and it says what numbers they have called up so far?

Yes called me and asked if I wanted the tag . I said yes and paid via CC . Tag was in my mailbox within a week . While I had her on the phone I asked her the average amount of people that canceled their tag
She told me 90 people dropped out the night before my phone call .

WTH? I checked the Montana site today and I was #31 on the list when it first came out... my number has changed to 948 :yike: What happened?

Maybe the original # was the order you signed up and now they randomized it?? :dunno:

Same here... got tossed back from 103 to 1255. There goes that hope!

Alternate’s List UPDATE, JULY 31, 2020
The Alternate’s List has been updated to correct a technical error with the initial posting of the list. The error was that the original list displayed the order that customers signed up instead of the randomized ordered list that was intended and required. The error occurred as a result of a brittle and antiquated licensing system. A new licensing system is underway and is slated to be operational for the 2022 license year. FWP apologizes for the confusion this has caused.

1104 in line now, better than 2200. 8)

I went from #15 to #1817 on Deer Elk Combo what a crock of *censored*. Why in the hell did they wait sooooo long to change the numbers?

From #70 to #2333. *****. Montanington...must be ex WDFW one there now.

Haha is there anything these states don’t screw up??
-
Went from 440 to 1850. :bash:
-
I went from 438 to 330 my dad went from 343 to 604 I think they did not have enough TV show people sign up to get their tags yet reason for redraw? they olso said the first list was the order that you put in that was not the order that I put in I put my dad in after me that should have made his number larger than mine it was not on the first list
-
Anyone know how many people typically get a tag? Of course this year is everything but typical!!

It’s generally been about 300 IIRC.

My buddy’s number last year was in the 800’s - got his tag in early October

that doesnt mean there was 800 tags. That just means the tags made it into the 800's. Remember, you don't have to say yes to tag. Lots of people turn them down, especially that late into the year.
-

Varies year to year . Last year I was 698 got the call a couple weeks after 4th of July , another buddy was 1070 ( or something like that ) he also got a call . Year before hunting partner was 298 got the call 4 days before Thanksgiving.

My number went out of reach

I jumped up from in the 1600's to 135... But, likely can't make it work this year so it will get past my number.

I was told the queue number that's posted in your Montana licensing account reduces as people below you either 'pass' or buy a license when offered one. Is this how it worked in the past?
Also, do you know how long they give you to respond after they send out the email to offer a license?

In years past as they update the system yes your number changed . Last year I never got an email , just a phone call , asking if I wanted a tag .
-
I was 480 on the list last year and I got a email early September saying I was selected to buy a license. I had 6 days to call and purchase the license.

Has anybody heard anything yet? Seems like some tags should be starting to get distributed by now.

I have not heard anything, and I am unchanged at #239. Any Hunt-Wa members with a lower number have status?
Ill be sure to post if/when I see anything to help others gauge the timing.
With the economy/job issues and Mt alt list debacle, hard to think there won't be a lot of licenses returned and people passing on the alt tag call...
-
I wouldn't bet on that if hunting is anything like fishing. I can't believe how many people are out in pretty much every area this year, probably double or triple last year, some days even more.
People are recreating at record levels. Buying boats, buying RV's, getting out everywhere.
-
I have not changed and my number is 135.

You all let everyone know what your list number is, but what are you trying to buy...there are three tags that could be available, the deer combo, big game combo and elk combo , I am guessing most folks want the deer, then big game, lastly elk combo....

I received an email two days ago to purchase surplus B tag.
I should add that you have 10 days to purchase from the date of the email.

Good to know - Thanks! :tup:

I'm kinda undecided to get any B-tags, the unit that I was given to purchase from has a high number of positive CWD harvested deer. I know I can get them tested, but just another thing to worry about ..... between CWD and Covid-19 this world is out of control.

Yeah....cwd has the world out of control......how far you live from Seattle or Portland???LMAO.

Not far enough from either city.... thats why Montana will be home soon. :tup:

I did and I was number 135 or so. I have until the 29th to purchase my tag. I wont be buying it so it will be moving down the line.
