Post by: Ridgerunner on March 07, 2008, 02:22:09 PM: No deer/elk for me this year, will put in for sheep though, thats not till later though.
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: Dman on March 07, 2008, 02:27:55 PM: I put in for general deer, likely at least next year until drawn.
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: boneaddict on March 07, 2008, 03:03:41 PM: 4 points going in. I should be drawn.

Post by: WDFW-SUX on March 07, 2008, 03:32:36 PM: I don't think I know anyone who has four points and hasn't drawn??

Good luck.

Post by: Wea300mag on March 07, 2008, 06:27:12 PM: 50CalJim and I are in for the Big Game Combo, we hunt in the west side of Montana and also the east side. :chuckle:

Bone, what are you putting in for? With 4 points it must be deer only.

Post by: boneaddict on March 07, 2008, 06:51:02 PM: It was, but this year I am going to do elk and deer. FORTUNATELY points count for all combos.

Post by: MountainWalk on March 08, 2008, 01:08:24 AM: hey guys.. tell yall what,,, i dont know how many people out of state know this,, but unit 270 in western montana,, is THE place for your number one pick.. for mule deer.. our area,,<my outfitter> is right across the highway <93> from it ,, and my oh my..if you had a tag there and shot anything less than a booner buck,, youd be foolish..my boss is paying out of his pocket for me for a guarentted big game combo tag and you can bet 270 is my first pick,, it is also a great place for good sheep,,,, for elk it is a general hunt affair..i havent killed an elk for a few years, and we are kinda not soo busy this year,, so he will get me a tag.

Post by: huntnphool on March 08, 2008, 02:27:26 AM: Ya, not much more than a half court shot at the buzzer chance for me drawing this year, I am banking on M-Ray pulling the tag so I can head over again this year. Looking at getting him his biggest deer to date, will be working my ass off to get him a 300+ bull as well :chuckle:
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: boneaddict on March 08, 2008, 06:20:08 AM: GOOD LUCK drawing 270. It is the chit, but for a good reason.
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: Bearhunter on March 08, 2008, 06:57:56 AM: Good my application out before I left. Going in with 3 points for the combo, then when the special draws come out Ill be putting in for 270 for deer, and the breaks for archery elk.
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: Craig on March 08, 2008, 08:52:08 AM: I'm in for the big game combo. If I draw then I have 4 points for a special elk permit.

Post by: Slider on March 08, 2008, 09:55:12 AM: Montana Super Tags are on sale. I just received mine in the Mail a couple days ago!!! ;)
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: boneaddict on March 08, 2008, 09:57:03 AM: Mine too. Does it ever end?
Title: Re: Montana deadline approaches!!!
Post by: bearhunter59 on March 08, 2008, 11:20:15 AM: I just spent my $700 on the big game combo...+deer super tag. My first time ever applying in Montana. I got invited to put in with a small group of guys, one of which is a local guide, so we'll see what happens....heck, I'm not even sure what part of the state we're gonna be hunting in if we're drawn...

LOL, you know you couldn't pay me if you wanted too. I'm hoping to have my own tag so I will be over there anyway, another strong back to help pack out my bull is payment enough :chuckle:

Actually you shouldn't feel obligated, if you have plans already for elk you won't hurt my feelings, I'll just go over and take pics of all the bulls you missed out on and post them for you later :chuckle: Kind of like I did with all the deer picks this year, not that I'm trying to rub it in..............again :chuckle:
