Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: GoldTip on July 21, 2010, 11:33:38 AM: I am hoping for this afternoon as well. Should hopefully stand a decent chance to draw this year.
Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: Roger on July 21, 2010, 12:56:22 PM: Even if we don't get the antelope we still have the buffalo draw, like that will happen for us nonresidents. I'm going to get the antelope, I'm going to get the antelope, I'm going to get the antelope.

Post by: HUNT on July 21, 2010, 01:26:44 PM: Come on antelope! I want to draw at least something this year!!!!
Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: Widgeondeke on July 21, 2010, 02:18:43 PM: If you don't draw you can still get license's/tags for WY. I just got 2 doe tags yesterday :IBCOOL:. I believe they still have buck tags for the area with little public land.
Good luck either way.
Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: Roger on July 21, 2010, 03:58:15 PM: If I don't get the Mt. antelope I will buy a leftover Deer tag in Wy. and go back to where the wolfs and grizzles are.
Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: Roger on July 21, 2010, 04:47:50 PM: I just checked and shows I added a bonus point, so no antelope tag this year.

Title: Re: Montaana Antelope Draw
Post by: Kent Hunter on July 21, 2010, 09:22:32 PM: Had two points for the 600 unit going in. I didn't expect to draw and I DIDN"T! Next year looks pretty good though. I've got thousands of acres to hunt when I do draw the unit. They have GREAT goats in that unit. Congrats to all my brothers and sisters that were sucessful.

Sweet! Drew my antelope tag!!! :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: GoldTip on July 22, 2010, 07:13:38 AM: I had 2 points going into the 600-00 unit draw as well, no tag for me either. Oh well, more to look forward to next year I guess.
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: Pathfinder101 on July 22, 2010, 09:59:02 AM: Okay, something's up. Only ONE guy here drew a tag? Is Montana "out of antelope"? Shouldn't be this hard to draw a speedgoat tag in MT, should it? :dunno:
I have two points now, so I guess the question is; should I burn them putting in for the 700 block next year, or keep putting in for 480?

Man, I really thought I would get drawn this year... :'(
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: gunnarnewt on July 22, 2010, 10:01:13 AM: My boys and I drew! Gonna be a great time yet again! :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: Pathfinder101 on July 22, 2010, 10:05:36 AM: OK, I calmed down. Just occurred to me that I will soon be getting a check for $200 from MTFWP...

... I think maybe God wants me to put it towards a new spotting scope, or maybe a youth pump shotgun foir PathfinderJR... :dunno:
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: Ridgerunner on July 22, 2010, 10:23:10 AM: I think the draw odds for the 700 region is only about 55% for NR, its not the 90%. That 90% includes residents.
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 22, 2010, 10:45:26 AM: :bash: dam draws :bash: we missed on 600 >:( o well another 200 back in my pocket but would have rather got another speed goat :IBCOOL: o well maybe next year
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: WDFW-SUX on July 22, 2010, 10:47:26 AM: seems like a tuff draw this year... :dunno:
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: GoldTip on July 22, 2010, 11:20:30 AM: I don't know, code for haven't looked, to see if Montana cut back on available tags this year versus last year. But I do know that the past several and even this past year along the highline and east from say Chester on had some rough snow and blow with pretty good drifting, so I've heard the Antelope have been hurt by that. So there may have been fewer available tags.
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: buckhorn2 on July 22, 2010, 11:31:25 AM: Getting my money back. Trying to think what to use it for but I did;nt draw here either. Might use it for gas and go round and round with everyone else. :(
Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: 270Shooter on July 22, 2010, 11:34:14 AM: I put in for some tough units so I'm not too surprised, disappointed, but I knew this was gonna happen

Del, you should be able to buy doe antelope tags over the counter if that interests you.

I didn't draw deer or antelope anywhere and was busy putting everyone else in for cow elk and forgot myself. :bash:

I may have to buy a pocket full of antlerless tags or shoot a buffalo myself... :chuckle:

Post by: Kuduman on July 24, 2010, 09:37:03 AM: GOT MINE..... 3 years and 3 tags .. Not Bad except I havent had time to mount last years buck yet.
We have been getting very lucky so I'm not sure if we'll draw next year. I'm going to hold out for a nice one this year. Here is a pic from last years outing

Good Luck on your archery hunt Rick. We'll have to get together soon.

Title: Re: Montana Antelope Draw
Post by: Elkstuffer on July 24, 2010, 09:47:13 PM: I'll trade you my antelope tag for your moose tag tmike!

I think you may be right Goldtip. Was talking with a few other people that put in this year for MT goats, and none of us got drawn. I'll bet they reduced the tags because of the 2009 late winter/spring winterkill. I know the deer in that area suffered pretty bad last year. There was a guy on this site that floated the Missouri Breaks last fall and only saw a few does...
