If you have zero points you have a .004% chance of drawing a tag. If you have max points (16) you have a 2% chance at drawing. Yikes! 16 years worth of buying points all for 1.5% better odds than someone with zero points.

I think one could argue in states that don't have a preference for longterm applicants to go short term on the draw strategy

That's true, but not as many of them as in draw areas.

Agreed, but if your odds are .004% to draw the permit, does it really matter? :chuckle:

Certainly not regarding that unit and many others where the trophy potential isn't really all that much greater.

I didn’t click the link, but I’m going to guess 270. I’ve thought about going there to photograph.
I was elk hunting there in September and saw several B&C bucks it was incredible. Sheep, bears, moose, elk, deer it was a fun area

The ranch they shoot at for the show is just south of Darby called Chief Joseph Ranch. They film all over that area. Half of Darby is in unit 270, other half if unit 240. That is why there is a police car in front of the ranch. So many people stop to take pictures at the "Yellowstone Ranch" that it causes traffic issues

about the same odds or better than most Washington quality deer and elk hunts, and im not being sarcastic.
:yeah: .004% doesn't sound too bad

Montana only uses the point system on first choices.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance? I have put in for this unit a couple times. In Montana there is not a lot of good limited deer units besides this one. so I normally just pass on the le units for deer and just apply for elk limited entry
