MT taps the NR at 10%, but that does not include the other categories like "come home to hunt" etc....
The article stated that their were over 69k NR hunters last year combined (all categories but resident).
Now i have only been to MT twice so far and always hear from residents that their are to many "out of staters" ruining the hubting in the state. Now i have not seen the high hunting pressures yet, both trips we seen very few other hunters (public and private lands) compared to Washington.
Your thoughts?

And of course the problem with managing elk that are over-objective (by a variety of metrics, including landowners' subjectivity) in GMUs where certain landowners won't cooperate with MT FWP and allow public access to the elk that seek refuge on those private lands. But I'm a broken record to a narrative that has been unfolding in Montana over at least the past three decades...

If there was one nonresident hunter in Montana, there would be 500 people complaining about it. If they can't find a NR, they just find someone with a county plate from more than one county away and complain about them invading "their" spots. Hasn't changed since I was the one complaining in the 90s.
The hotels, gas stations, restaurants, etc..... seem to enjoy having us over though.
:yeah: I still have a lot of family in lincoln county-You should hear them bitch about flatheaders!! :chuckle: As you probably know lincoln and flathead county are right next to each other and one of those flatheaders may have only driven 5 minutes to hunt or fish in lincoln county. The nerve of those guys crossing that county line to hunt ha ha. I find it entertaining since I was a former flatheader. 1 hunter you don't personally know is WAY too many for a Montanan. Hunting pressure is very subjective
Post by: dreamingbig on April 12, 2022, 09:48:15 PM
As a native Montanan who still hunts in that state, my experience lately has been that if anything is going to "ruin" hunting there, it will be the billionaire New Jersey governor (Gianforte) who far prefers favoring his wealthy cronies to honoring Montana's longstanding hunter heritage for residents and non-residents alike.Yeah he is a problem. He needs to be watched closely.
And of course the problem with managing elk that are over-objective (by a variety of metrics, including landowners' subjectivity) in GMUs where certain landowners won't cooperate with MT FWP and allow public access to the elk that seek refuge on those private lands. But I'm a broken record to a narrative that has been unfolding in Montana over at least the past three decades...

" I called to talk to someone and they were busy but the recording said that if it says you were successful released it means that you didn’t intially get drawn but the people who entered into limited draw units and didnt get picked released their tags and then you got drawn.
TLDR:If it says you got a released tag you got a tag. "

I drew deer with 1 point as a group with one guy. At least that's what the backdoor results show, i'll confirm once its actually posted on their website. I figured I had little to no chance of drawing.

We drew our landowner deer licenses and we also drew our limited entry mule deer buck permits. Most of Montana has a 5 week general season. The area we hunt in unit 4 only has a 3 week general season (closes two week early). With the special permits we will be able to hunt 2 weeks longer like the rest of the state during the peak of the rut. The landowner licenses only allow that we can hunt on the deeded land of the ranch. But 12,000 acres should be enough for the 5 of us. It has been for the last 13 years. Wasn't until 2 years ago that we started doing the landowner option due to the mass increase of applicants. Should be a great hunt! Good Luck to all! Now the wait continues for Wyoming limited entry elk!I hate to be the bearer of bad news D but like ID, you are restricted to ONLY hunting your permit now.

Restricted to only hunting the Special permit with a 5 week season, or the landowner permit with the 3 week season? Both in the same unit I take it.
With the special permit, couldn't he hunt the entire 5 week season on any land he has access too within the special permit unit?

He can hunt the permit area during the dates for the permit. If there is overlap between the general season area and season dates then I guess technically he could hunt "both" but he would still be hunting within his permit parameters. The way he made it sound is they could hunt the opener and then bleed into the permit season :dunno:
Oh gotcha. I was thinking the general season with landowner tag and the special permit opened on the same day and the general/landowner ended 14 days before the end of the special permit. Both in the same unit.
Though, I would imagine the landowner tag is not valid anymore and he can only have one valid deer tag in this pocket and the special would trump the landowner.
I think...

You're correct. Permits trump general tags. Those 400 series permits start the day after General ends. So like this year general is oct 22-nov 13. Permit is nov 14-nov 27. He can ONLY hunt the nov 14-nov special permit. He is not allowed to hunt the general season. I think that made sense anyways :chuckle:
It does to me, hopefully to him as well :tup:

The permit is for a 400 series unit. So that limits all of our mule deer hunting for bucks in that unit only. The ranch we hunt of course is in that exact unit. But we are even limited further by the landowner license. We can only hunt the ranch for any and all deer hunting we do in Montana. We are heading over and hunting the forth week of the season. That is the first week of our special permit (special permit runs two weeks Nov 14-27). The general deer season in this unit closes the 13th of November. But we could hunt the entire 3 weeks of the general season and the next 2 weeks of the special permit season for mule deer bucks. We are limited in two ways. We can only hunt the ranch because of the landowner issue and we can only hunt in this unit (if we had a normal deer tag) for mule deer bucks because we drew a limited entry permit for mule deer bucks. We drew these late permits 2 years ago when it was the first year they were offered and we saw some great deer and shot some nice bucks. Here is one that my nephew got just shy of 180. If I recall he was 176.

Ya Karl, I think you might be right after looking at the rules a little bit closer. I guess Im glad we weren't planning on hunting the general season anyway. I read it as meaning I couldnt hunt any other unit due to the rule but it looks like you are correct, but once again it wont affect our plans. They probably after considering the new rule, trying to spread the hunting pressure out. (sorry Karl if I spell your name wrong at times, I have 6 daughters and one son and his name is Carl with a C and not a K. LOL):chuckle: all good. I don't even correct people anymore. My parents are sick SOB's :chuckle:

Anyone know how MT handles the refunds? Do they credit back our cards or send a check?
Good luck to all that drew tags.

Ha ha. Congratulations on your draw too! Enjoy that time with your father! Im glad he drew too! My father is fading quickly and will be gone in the next month or two. It will be a blessing for him after a few real hard years now that he is in his upper 80's. Make those memories while you can. Looks like a mild winter and a wet spring could give way to some decent Montana hunting this year!

So, both of the groups that I hunt with struck out. 1.6 point average for one group and 1.5 point average for the other. Dang it! First time in 12 years that I didn't pull a combo license on the main draw or the re-draw. Oh well, alternates list, here I come.They send a check.

Did anyone draw with one point? Buddy made mistake of paying $100 to buy a point but I told him with one point your odds are less than with zero points. Maybe you couldn’t draw with one. Is it most points or a point squared draw for peference in MT?me and my buddy that drew each bought the point the 2 buddies that didn’t buy it didn’t draw

He may be referring to the talk on another forum about a redraw! Something about points weren’t allocated correctly :dunno:

My deer special permit was not selected
but my elk special permits never said selected or not selected on the myFWP website

I guess I should’ve bought the preference point I went in with three points and did not get drawn🤨thats not possible. I'd be calling.
Post by: bigfish51 on April 15, 2022, 08:30:50 AM
I hope that I'm wrong and that you didn't lose the points.

I mean, its pretty obvious they screwed something up because my LE apps still say "unsuccessful". Thats obviously a glitch of some sort :chuckle::yeah:
:yeah:
That’s what all of us are hoping that have unsuccessful up anyways. Probably the ones starting the rumor I’m sure, trying to keep hope alive

If you had 3 points going in you CANT buy another point. The maximum is 3 pp. it’s impossible I think to not draw with 3? The only way you would lose them is to not apply 2 years in a row. Don’t call as I don’t want them to re/draw :chuckle:
Post by: idaho guy on April 15, 2022, 11:46:35 AM
If he didn't buy a point, then he would have gone into the 25% pool with "no points option" selected and his "banked" points wouldn't have come into play. MT system has a bunch of variables to it. Everyone that I know who had 2 or more points and selected the points option was drawn.
He said he had 3 points going in you can’t buy or have more than 3

Everyone that I know who had 2 or more points and selected the points option was drawn.this isn't correct. You enter the draw with your points whether you want to or not. Only way to be in the 0 point pool (25%) is to actually have zero points.
