Post by: Bronson on May 18, 2009, 09:56:35 AM: My old man and I got our tags off the alternates list a couple of years ago. Not sure what number we were but we didnt get "offered" tags until July or August. We just got a letter in the mail stating we could buy tags if we wanted (first come, first served) and it didnt affect our bonus point.

Post by: tmike on May 18, 2009, 10:10:12 AM: 101 is a great number, you should be in. I'm 823 for the deer combo so it looks like No Montana for me this year :'(

Post by: Gobble on May 18, 2009, 10:12:09 AM: #783 I have about ZERO chance of getting drawn :'(

Post by: jrebel on May 18, 2009, 12:39:50 PM: Last year we had two in our party that weren't drawn on the original and got in on the alternate. They were 200's and 600's. You should have no problem with 101. Good luck

Post by: huntnphool on May 18, 2009, 12:41:36 PM: Typically they give out about 500 tags for combo that have been turned back in. If you are under that you have a great chance of receiving a tag. In addition, if you draw a tag via this route you don't lose your points.

Post by: boneaddict on May 25, 2009, 08:03:50 PM: I've always heard that top 100 are a shoe in and up to 250 have very very good odds. After that.......

Navy I think you misread my number. I am # 1,261 (one thousand, two hundred, sixty one) on the alternates list. I don't think this is my year. But thanks for the positive thinking. :)

Post by: Buckoholic on May 28, 2009, 09:59:23 PM: So I guess since I already got drawn I will see 1/2 of you guys there and the other 1/2 can watch from home!! :) :)

I was in the low 400's last year, but I didn't get a call or letter :bash:.

Was that just for Deer or for Deer and Elk combo?

Just the deer.

I figured it must have been I was 500 for the Derr and Elk combo and drew last year! It's pretty tough to draw the Deer only ... you have to figure the combo with 13k tags has a return of about 5-600 the Deer only is going to be much less!

Title: Re: Montana's non res Alternate’s List is posted
Post by: HuntingFanatic on September 29, 2009, 03:56:00 PM: I moved up 7 spots coming out of the weekend! I am now #48. Damn!!!! I called a couple of weeks ago just to ask a few questions. Marsha was very helpful and friendly......she said it will be close.....I have never checked my mail every day like I have been for the last month! Cmon baby! Big BUCKS! No whammies!
Title: Re: Montana's non res Alternate’s List is posted
Post by: M_ray on September 29, 2009, 04:05:54 PM: I heard they were going to give everybody on the alternate for combo a tag??? I assume because the last few years they have had to extend the season through Dec. 15th so they may as well just give out more tags early and one way to do that is to reward all those alternate list ... after all they obviously want the tag!!!
Title: Re: Montana's non res Alternate’s List is posted
Post by: HuntingFanatic on September 29, 2009, 04:12:55 PM: Haha thats funny Mray......as I was reading your post the random photo was one of you and your montana deer last year! I kind of got the vibe from a few of her remarks that that was a possibility.......I would love it if both my dad and I got one! I know they opened it up to all the elk/deer combo alternates.....I truly wish that money was not an issue for me.....the 300 and change is a stretch right now.
Title: Re: Montana's non res Alternate’s List is posted
Post by: Bearhunter on September 29, 2009, 04:29:07 PM: Montana opened up the Combo tags from the Alternates list. Doesnt or didnt matter were you are on the list, print the new application and mail in a check first come first served. Im leaving November 1st for Montana, and here I thought at 1100 I wasnt going, luck has changed!
Title: Re: Montana's non res Alternate’s List is posted
Post by: HuntingFanatic on September 29, 2009, 04:37:54 PM: That was for the deer and elk combo......not deer only :(. That was the main reason I called a few weeks ago......I didnt want to miss out. Good luck on your trip! Hopefully Ill be right there with you from the 6th through the 17th
