Montana alternate list is out I’m in the top 20, lowest number ever For my group. And of course, the year I’m going to Alaska and have an Idaho late whitetail hunt planned. I really don’t have time . But I always make time for hunting, so I sure hope another one of the guys gets a low number too
-
Well I can tell you I’m not in the group of low numbers. I’m 955
-
How’s 479 and 670? First time doing the alternate list so not sure how many get returned on average.
-
It’s always different. I think one year it made it almost all the way up to 1800 and another year. I don’t think it even made it over 300. Last year I know a guy that got one that I believe was around 1100. I had one preference point so I knew I would not draw so I’m glad I got a low number. Does anybody know if I lose my preference point now (assuming 20 people return tags)or do I already have that banked for next year since I was unsuccessful in the original draw?

If you're north of 200 sounds like your odds of getting a call before November are pretty low.

Dang not looking good for me and my buddy :chuckle:

Wanna trade?

#716 for me! :bash:
-
I don’t think #2400 is gonna cut it for me. Time for other plans
-
There are three separate alternate lists. One for deer, one for deer and elk, and one for just elk. Each list has different totals and different odds. Being 300 on the deer/elk combo is way better than 300 on the deer.

Is 1800 on the combo list good?
-
Probably not……

Nope but there is 907 people behind you in line so it’s not the worse number.
-
647 :(
-
774 is the best place of my group. Not looking too good! Oh well, can’t get one every year though I wish I could.
-
So the total number of the Deer Combo Alternant list is 2534. Can anyone tell me what the total number of the Elk combo alternant list and the deer/elk combo alternant list???
-
2706 for the combo licenses.
-
333 for me
-
1667 for deer only. Well, it was worth a shot lol
-
When do they start contacting people?
-
Two years ago I was 150 on the deer list and got the email around Labor Day, no way to tell how many will be turned in, just gotta play the waiting game.
-
Their email said The calls will start beginning of August

:yeah: I was right around #225 back in 2022 and never got a call for the Deer Combo. Originally thought I was in the running for a tag from what I had heard from guys with Alternate List experience. Like you said, if you aren't sub-200 you are pretty much SOL...
-
Got the email today I can buy my deer tag. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
-
Sounds like they are contacting a little earlier than in previous years, wonder if there is a reason for that.
-
My brother moved up to #18 on the elk only list
-
I went from #164 to now at #104. So 60 people have been notified to buy there tags. This is on the deer only combo.
-

Ya, I went from 164 originally to 104 a week ago and now I just went to 75.
-
Can number 954 let me know when you get an email? It’s sounds like I might have a chance :chuckle:
-
My brother started at #81 on the elk only list and got his tag today
-
Looks like the deer combo moved about another 30 or so, I’m assuming it’s gonna slow down here soon, then pick back up right before the season.
-
Not looking good for my friend who started at 800. Looking like a solo trip for me this year

You have a very realistic chance at 185.
-
most of the group is still in the mid 300's with one guy sitting at 122 currently...
-
My buddy is at 9 hopefully he gets the call next week he started at 130 on deer combo

I'd say there's a realistic chance if he is willing to purchase a tag towards the end of season... I had low 200's starting out for the Deer Combo in 2022 and never got the call....
-
Montana season runs through Feb, I am a amazed every time I look at the dates to see just how long a guy could really hunt a general tag in MT. If only I could get 12 weeks off from work...
-
Looks like it moved another 20 spots, def slowin down now
-
I started at #12 for deer. So I got mine in the first batch.

How much did it change this week

How much did it change this week
It moved 4, figured this would be the dead time, I would think it’ll pick back up in 3-4 weeks as people have things come up or just change mind for whatever reason, we shall see.

It picks back up in a few weeks? Do those that accept have until the season to return?

You can get the email all the way up to last week of season, people can turn in tags throughout the season

More people pass up the opportunity as the season gets closer too. They can’t get the time off on short notice, have committed to other hunts or things in general.

Moved 6 more today

Now we just need that to happen 3 more times

Does anyone know how many this has dropped in the last few weeks? I can’t check it since my number already came up.

It seams to drop about 10 spots every week, the past few weeks.
At this pace, my number should come up sometime next August :chuckle:

I started out at 306, as of today I am now 90, hope this helps.

643
🤣
-
Thanks. That confirms my friend doesn’t have a chance :bash:
-
The list has really slowed down, figured it would be picking up again right about now but it hasn’t yet.
-
I started off at #850, now I'm #616...I'd quit looking, but saw that the topic was bumped up on the "recent topics" so I checked just for grins..lol
-
I'm at 404, started at 687. Good to know next year that if you are at 250 to start you have a chance.
-
You all need to include in your information on list movement what list you are on. Deer? Deer/elk? Or elk? Movement on each of these lists is different and list size is different for each also.

I’ve stated “deer list” on previous posts/replies.
-
Deer list moved 3 today
-
Moved 14 this week, Montana game dept said 25th is deadline for tags to be turned in for refund so this traditionally is a big jump coming up, guess we shall see.
-
Big jump this week, I was 60 last week, and got the email today to purchase a tag.
-
Congratulations enjoy your hunt
-
I was 135 a week or so ago just got an email I can purchase. Is there a way to pass so someone else maybe able to go? Or does it just go the 5 days and then go on?
-
Down to 1179. Hoping for an email any day!
-
I was number 655 maybe I’ll get a call
-
Is it done moving for the year? I haven’t seen any movement in over a week. I have never watched it this late and can’t find anything that says when it’s done. I would assume it’s when all the seasons were done but not seeing any movement has me thinking otherwise.
-
I believe the last day of deer season for Modern is Sunday so I think they are done. A friend called a week or two ago and they said he didn’t have a chance and was less than 100. You could always call to verify though, they are pretty good about answering the phone
-
Dang it, I was afraid of that. I was hoping to go over and do the heritage season coming up.
