Anyone know right off hand when the Montana draw results will be out?? April 15th???
-
All I know is next week sometime. I went on their website and couldn’t find the exact date.
-
Hope next week
I need something good
-
10-4. I passed on last year to antelope hunt in Wyoming. Hope to go back to MT this year for deer.
-
Hope next week

:yeah: Something to look forward to right now would
Be nice
-
April 15th.
-
Thanks, Shooter
-
They say by April 20 but MT is pretty quick and are usually ahead of the game. Last year was the 14th I think?
-
I have been checking every day, usually multiple times just in case they publish early. Last year the results were posted on the 14th.
-
Given how much they charge for the Non-resident Combo licenses it would be awfully considerate of them to post the results before the start of Turkey season so that license holders can get the full value of their licenses if they chose to.
If you draw a combo big game license you can get turkey tags for $57.50. If not, that price jumps to at least $115. Turkey opens Saturday.
-
My drawing results say Pending. Don’t think that was the case yesterday. But I can’t remember.
-
They already came out, if you didn't get an email this morning that means you didn't get drawn! :chuckle: I heard it was going to be the 14th, so hopefully sometime next week. Also heard applicants were up 45% this year, YIKES! Hopefully we will draw again, good luck to all!
-
Here's wishing you all good fortune in the draw. I'm hoping I draw again but if I don't I'm still luckier than most in that my son lives there and I'll still get to go, set up camp and spend time with him in the hills even if I can't shoot.
-
End of this week!!!
-
I'm feeling pretty good about our plans to buy a couple unlimited doe tags. I finally found a game I can win on a regular basis.
-
Just checked. Still nothing posted.
-
Maybe today???? :dunno:
-
Maybe today???? :dunno:
That sure would be nice

Montana drawing is in progress according to my FWP!

Just want to say I hate you all. I had to stand down this year and this thread offends me :chuckle: good luck everyone

system crashed! 503- system unavailable
mine just shows drawing in process

yep, but 2 minutes after I announced it on this forum, the system overloaded. I thought it was funny how fast the word spread! It seems slow but up at this point.

Once this thread takes off I will believe it and look

Thank you everyone for not posting the first DRAWN! fake post. :tup:

Same. All I’m gonna say is I’m going to go buy a lotto ticket now.
-
:'( :'( :'( :'( Hate to see it. My brother and I didn't get drawn. Assuming the "search hunters" function is actually what the results are. Good luck everyone!

Yee haw here as well if that’s really the back door
-
Looks like the losers lounge for me :tdown:
-
no backdoor love for me either :(
-
I'll leave that one alone. No joy for us.
-
Dang. Unsuccessful :'(
-
not sure how you guys are checking the search hunters thing but I guess I will wait until its actually posted. Now I am nervous seeing all the people not drawing. :yike:
-
If that’s true. The Backdoor did me dirty. Unsuccessful
-
https://myfwp.mt.gov/fwpExtPortal/searchHunters_input.action
-
Looks like you have to create a cvs file to upload, correct?
-
IFFFF the backdoor works, our party of 3 drew with 1 pt.
-
How do you check the back door
-
Click the "enter search criteria" button
-
Backdoor came through - looks like I'm dancing! Glad I paid the extra $50 to get up to 2 pref points - I knew I had a good shot but was still sweating. It'll be interesting to see what draw odds were.
-
If the excel sheet is correct, looks like my old man and I drew
-
I drew deer
-
Deer/Elk Combo for me. Deer Combo for Brother. :IBCOOL:
-
Looks like you have to create a cvs file to upload, correct?
No, just select enter search criteria a few times til it lists a box to put info in
Looks like four of us are in for deer/elk.
-
I just created the CSV file. Drew big game combo but no special permits.
-
My party of 3 drew deer
Yeeeehaw
-
My results are posted under the draw results now and I am still successful.
-
Yup official here too!
-
No joy for me this year
-
Unsuccessful for deer combo.

:IBCOOL:
-
UNSUCCESSFUL for big game combo :bash: :bash: :bash:
-
No dice for elk :(
-
So far, the unscientific Hunt WA success rate (deer, elk or both) is about 68%.
-
I'll add my 5 hunters to not drawn list.
-
Now..... where to go ? Just PM me I'm willing to guard your honey hole for the next year for guys stuck in the losers lounge..... :chuckle:
-
What does this mean it’s my first time applying?
-
Big game combo for me and my son. He also drew a breaks bull elk tag.
-

looks like you were unsuccessful

Deer combo for my dad and i.
-
Myself and 2 buddies are going with a combo. First time hunting MT.
-
big game combo had 2 points
-
Me and my son drew big game combo :tup: un successfull on elk permit

I drew deer!!
-
Deer combo unsuccessful with 3 pref points. :bash:
-
Sweet. Group of 5 for NR Deer Combo, no points.
-
Not successful for deer combo. Party of 2
-
Got my combo !
-
Deer combo unsuccessful with 3 pref points. :bash:
are you sure you did your app correctly or did indeed have 3pts? Its a preference point system so 3pt gets tags before anyone with 2pts or 1pt and I know guys who had 1pt that pulled tags. May be worth a call if you did indeed have 3pts :twocents:
-
Heading on my first out of state hunt. Deer combo with 2 buddies. So excited to go!
-
Actual results are up. And my group is headed back to Montana again!
-
Wife and I got drawn for deer combo.
-
Our group of 3 is headed back this year :IBCOOL:

Yeah that does seem screwy. Although I don't think it's quite that simple - last year for the combo draw goHunt says 2 pref points was 100%, 1 point was was 69% and 0 points was 65%. Not really sure why 1 and 0 points were so close together on a true pref point system (?)

Because there is a small portion that is randomly drawn?

If my research is correct and all of the applicants in the group had 3 preference points each, this should be an impossible outcome. Something is not correct.
-
We got our six deer tags. But we drew in the Landowner drawing.

Bonus points vs preference maybe? :dunno:
-
75% of tags are allocated to point holders. After that 25% are random. So likely the small percentage of 1pt holders that didn't draw likely didn't make the 75% cut and got tossed into the random pool. As dvolmer stated, not drawing with 3 is currently impossible.
-
Our group of 4 got drawn for deer combo, excited to head back! :tup:
-
I drew without buying a preference point this year
-
I drew without buying a preference point this year
Possible to do!!! But getting luckier/harder and luckier/harder each year. 25% of the licenses go in a random draw. This is a good strategy if you want to get a license and hunt in Montana every 3 to 4 years on average would be my guess.
-
I drew big game combo but the ol’ball and chain didn’t. I put us in separate hoping that would give us a better chance at drawing, don’t know if that was the right thing to do or not. This will be my first Montana hunt.

It would have been the right thing to do if it were the other way around but no, you likely messed up :chuckle:
-
We drew ellk/deer combo as a part, no pref points. Be our third trip to MT.
-
old man and i drew our elk/deer combo. getting the gang back together. first time for my dad to hunt mt. gonna be awesome...i hope

I didn’t know what to do :chuckle: . He got a rifle big bull elk in Washington AND Montana back in 2016, so I think he used up all his luckyness, it’s my turn now ;)
-
Put the old ball and chain in for Antelope.
-
no draw for deer combo
-
Good luck everyone who drew
Going to be a great year!!! We all need something positive.
-
We haven't hunted elk before in MT...need to figure out if we'll do archery in addition to rifle. For sure do rifle deer mid nov and maybe try to do rifle elk as well. Guess that depends on where we hunt, which we don't know yet. Went to broadus area last time and ran into WA plates everywhere.
-
Unsuccessful for our group
-
Successful
× Warning: You do not have any successfully drawn licenses/permits for drawings finalized so far in 2021. does this mean not successful ?
-
well 33 years going to mt. 3rd time not drawn deer and elk combo. was hoping the max bonus points would have helped some how
-
My brother and I drew deer
-
Our party got drawn for deer!!!
-
Damn seems like everyone got drawn but me
-
Son and I drew Deer/Elk and also our cow tags.
-
No joy

Trust me was not my doing, twas the InLaws . I told them they needed to reschedule it but apparently celebrating their 50th anniversary in Hawaii is more important than going to Montana :dunno: :chuckle:

I put in last year (only time) and didn't get drawn, they mail a check which is a load of crap (paid with card) thing is, they never sent mine, I had to call a couple times and eventually they did, so keep on it, should be around 2-3 weeks of draw.

awesome thank you. So with the current mail and shipping I should expect it by November :chuckle:
-
Hopefully you clicked the "refund me if I don't draw" button, I think it defaults to donating it to the state if you don't draw. :chuckle:

Nonresident hunters can sign up between May 15 and June 30 for Alternate’s List
Beginning May 15 and running through June 30, nonresident hunters can register their name to the Alternate’s List on MyFWP. Every year, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks gets several unused nonresident combination licenses (big game, general elk and general deer combination licenses) returned by customers. FWP resells these returned licenses through the Alternate’s List.
The Alternate’s List is an option for nonresident hunters to express their interest in purchasing one of these returned licenses by registering their name to this listing. A hunter can register to purchase their choice of only one nonresident combination license per year (big game, general elk, or general deer combination licenses). Once the list is randomized in mid-July, and a license becomes available, the hunter in the uppermost randomized position on the list will be contacted by email to finalize the purchase of the license, and so on until the returned NR combo licenses are eventually exhausted.
Payment for the license fee is not required to sign up for the Alternate’s List. If your randomized position falls at the top of the listing, you will be contacted by email with instructions on how to complete the purchase of the license. Being on this list or obtaining a license from this list has no effect on your existing preference points.
MyFWP also allows you to check where your position lands on this Alternate’s List after the randomization process occurs in mid-July. Please be sure to check back after then.
The odds of getting a license from these lists vary greatly from year to year. Refunds and issuance may occur at any time after mid-July, but availability of these licenses increase between early fall and the opening of general hunting season in late October.
For more information, visit http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/licensedraw/alternatesList.html.

I did the alt draw last year and ended up like 2560 out of 2590 lol

How long does it take to get our tags in the snail mail?
-
First or second week of May if I recall last year

Does anyone know when they send refunds? Other states are begging for my money.. :chuckle:

Mid May if I’m not mistaken is when I got my refund last year when I wasn’t selected for the elk permit I put in for.
-
Will they send paper regulations in the mail automatically? Or do we have to ask?
-
I can’t recall if they send a copy or not. If they don’t shoot me a text jstone and I’ll have my soon to be father in law mail you out a copy.
-
The person I talked to said checks for "non drawers" like.myself would be mailed 1st week of May. Last year the did not send out paper copies of the regs.
