Now we wait(Montana)
« on: April 05, 2026, 06:41:05 PM »
How is everybody feeling with the Montana draws likely to be done within the next week or so, I’ve got 2 pts for the deer combo and with the reduction of tags this year 2 pts is no longer almost a sure thing I feel.

I think you will be fine with 2 points.  It's the 1 point crowd (my group), that are probably going to be affected.   1 point was 47% last year with just over 2000 tags drawn.   That 2500 reduction is going to hurt us.   All going to depend on how many applicants there are this year.

I’m in for 2 for deer. I think this year 2 should still get drawn. After this year tho, I think 3 will be the new standard for sure chances to draw. 75% of the tags given starting at the top point holders, and 25% from the bottom. Next year the 2 point pool will be much larger. This is the way I understand it anyway.

we usually go every other year but were feeling lucky so went in with zero points.  Fingers crossed - its a coin flips chance.
