you are right it was the alternate list that in their words in the email they said the draw got screwed up . I’m not complaining as I screwed myself for not putting in on time to begin with

Post by: DWBMontana on August 18, 2020, 08:06:16 PM: I am curious, most folks just put in for deer B tags? Anyone putting in for elk B tags??? The ranch I hunt here in Montana has ample opportunity for cows, hunting started on the 15th of August with the correct tags, goes till Feb 15 on parts of the ranch, which I consider to long and brutal on the animals...but, that's for a different thread.

Post by: Fishmaker57 on August 18, 2020, 08:50:17 PM: Yes, I drew a surplus cow tag for all of the 400 and 500 units. Is the ranch located in any of those units? Been 35 years since I have hunted Montana, but I am about done with this state.

Post by: DWBMontana on August 19, 2020, 09:22:50 AM: The ranch I hunt is in region 5. Did you purchase 2 cow elk B tags? Or are you counting your general tag? I know region 4 has the 004-00 cow tag, region 5 has the 005-00 , 595-00, pretty sure they do not overlap unless you have a general tag.

Post by: Dansk on August 26, 2020, 09:45:54 AM: Just was notified for surplus Deer B MD... I was 680/700 in line, so if you have a high number on the B tag wait lists, there is a good chance you will have opportunity.
