Mid April for deer only or deer/elk combo.  Montana special hunts and antelope buck are due in mid June.   GOOD LUCK

All true, but they are also very slow.  They get thousands of applications, and THEY CHECK EVERY DOT AND EVERY I.  It has only been two weeks since the deadline.  I wouldn't worry yet.

I'm not sure about that.  "Pending" used to mean the application has been received.  A few years ago a hunting partner of mine submitted an antelope application with an error.  His showed "pending" until the draw.  After the draw MT told him his application was rejected.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: MtnMuley on April 01, 2010, 01:36:07 PM
I'm pretty sure "Pending" means the status of draw as a whole.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: Bob33 on April 01, 2010, 01:42:31 PM
I was referring to individual applications that appear under the "Pending" category.  Just because an application is listed there does not indicate that the application is error free, or it didn't a few years ago.

Post by: MtnMuley on April 01, 2010, 01:49:38 PM
Me too.  That the drawing for which you applied is "pending".  Or in the process of being determined if successful or unsuccessful (as it states on the botttom line, "drawing not complete").  I agree on your error free comment.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: Bob33 on April 01, 2010, 01:52:13 PM
Maybe you're missing my point, or I'm missing yours.  Someone posted that he assumed because his application displayed under "pending", that he had filled out his application correctly.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: MtnMuley on April 01, 2010, 01:54:54 PM
Nope, gotcha Bob33.  Just didn't want somebody to get the impression that the drawing has occurred and that pending was a good thing. :)
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: Bob33 on April 01, 2010, 01:57:53 PM
Thanks.  I know my friend was shocked, angry, and a bunch of other emotions to find out after the draw that he'd failed to fill in a couple blanks.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?

I think you're right Bob33..  Someone in my party made a mistake on their application a few years back and it also showed up as "Pending" but he was later informed he had filled in out incorrectly.  We put in for the "Landowner Sponsor" Deer Tag and he checked the "General" Deer box instead but had included all the signed Landowner papers.  His application never even made it to the drawing but was marked "pending".  I like to at least see Pending next to mine as it shows they at least got it but it doesn't mean everything is correct on the app.   Good Luck to Everyone Applying!!!! Can't wait!

Bob33 is right.  I had this happen with an Antelope application a few years back.  Same thing, goofed up a portion, but didn't find out until after the drawing was done.  Unitl then it showed as "pending".

I had a different experience on the "Pending" status. It said something about application error, so I called em to find out THEY screwed up & wouldn't fix it so they screwed me. *censored* I probably just jinxed myself. I applied for multiple tags & bought 1 conservation license. They said I didn't get it for the other species. I was like I already bought it. Sorry. So I buy it for everything then they'll repay ya back.

How do you check the drawing?  I know its not out but it would be nice to know!  Got multi season for deer in elk in washington, all I need now is my Montana Tags and I'll be hunting for 6 months straight!

Well, I guess I'll be taking a little time off and hunting every weekend.  My Montana app is saying draw not run yet?  That is odd since you guys have a "Pending" comment on yours?  Thoughts?
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: Roger on April 08, 2010, 06:59:44 PM
"Pending" should be the heading above "Draw not complete yet".
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: WonkyWapiti on April 12, 2010, 05:15:41 PM
Two years in a row my buddy and I did not get drawn as a group.   :'(
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: Buschingc on April 12, 2010, 05:17:26 PM
Well I got drawn for the big game combo.... *censored*ty thing is, I dont think im going to be able to go this year. There were going to be three of us going for the first time this year. Two of my coworkers any myself. Here comes the problem. We found out last week that two of my other coworkers decided to get their wifes prego at the same time and they are both due the week that we were planning on going to montana (Nov 5-12). Now due to state laws, they are able to take up to three months for maternity leave even though they are both men. Last year each one of them took a month off. I work for a small department and even when one person goes on vacation or calls in sick, that leaves one guy single shifted to cover the streets. So basically im screwed!  :bash:   I cant go by myself, becuase I have no idea of the area. I also dont know anyone else that goes to Montana. I looked at the rules for declining the tag and they will only send you money back in specific situations (death in family, death to you, medical emergency). Im not comfortable about lying and potentially getting into trouble.

I really dont want to loose out on almost $700.. I make decent money and $700 is still alot of money. I dont really know of what my options are. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.. Thanks.. I really just want to shoot a nice Montana deer, im not to worried about shooting an elk.

I think you can turn the tag back in for like 80% refund.  At least you used to be able to do so.
Title: Re: Montana online drawing results?
Post by: rb2506 on April 12, 2010, 05:23:46 PM
refund was 50% last year i think?
