Wife and her Grandma will be going to fulfill a bucket list item since she has never been antelope hunting in her 75 years. Will be fun.

Knock on some doors
The ranch we hunt for antelope hate them

Ah no sorry, one’s plenty
Crazy

Have fun guys

I thought 4 pts was a guarantee this year, maybe they reduced the tag numbers?

All units are different… along the same lines as WA. The antelope draw in MT is bonus points so there never is truly a guarantee. Looking at the detailed Drawing Reports for MT Antelope shows this is the case in some units. Could have been a reduction in tags as well…

My partner and I drew with 5 points for our unit, with a ~60% chance of drawing (according to the 2024 detailed drawing report).
