Do you guys think we will find out our Elk & Deer draw results this week?
Yep. mtmuleySounds like they screwed up the draw in a major way. Licensing department is saying they have to work through some “things” and may have to redraw. Montana is the laughingstock of western big game draws.
Let us know how that tag goes. Not far from my house and I’ve got 16 points burning a hole in my pocket.Successful for combo and 652-50 deer. ? Now to see if there are any decent ones left after they bumped it to 200 tags last year.
Does anyone have an explanation for why my account shows both “Successful” and “Unsuccessful” for the Big Game Combo?
My points still show the same as they did before the draw.
Thanks!
Montana ran the draw without applying bonus points this year. Your 16 points aren’t worth anymore than 0 the way they run things.Let us know how that tag goes. Not far from my house and I’ve got 16 points burning a hole in my pocket.
The page shows succesful, so anything listed below that? Next it shows unsuccessful, does that show anything below that?
here is an example. Clearly states i am NOT successful Hope this

Heateater - can you elaborate on where you are getting your information from on Montana messing up the draw?Montana ran the draw without applying bonus points this year. Your 16 points aren’t worth anymore than 0 the way they run things.

Technically those apps should be thrown out and they shouldn’t be redrawn because those people put in for multiple choices in units that are now clearly listed as “can be applied for as first choice only”. Essentially they had a glitch allowing guys to put a second choice when they applied for those so they state is falling on the sword for the mistake of the applicant. Sucks because I lucked out and drew one of those hunts (listed it as my first and only choice like I should have) and now I have to contend with 10% more tags in my unit because people can’t read directions2,400 applicants effected by glitch! Unbelievable! They can’t make it right now. They can only try…
I read it as a “technical glitch” which implies that it is no fault of the applicant.Technically those apps should be thrown out and they shouldn’t be redrawn because those people put in for multiple choices in units that are now clearly listed as “can be applied for as first choice only”.

Are you seriously giving FWP credit? They have proven to be the most inept agency in the entire west. I get you’re pissed that you will be elbow to elbow with lots of other hunters but that again is FWPs fault.Like I said, the state is falling on the sword. It clearly stated that those hunts needed to be listed as a first and only choice per new regulations. I did just that and drew one. They’re taking the blame for some reason because their system let people put those choices as first but also allowed them to put a second. Had they read the regs like I did and obviously thousands of others did, they would have known not to put a second choice and would have been in the draw.
The applicants full well knew they needed to put those as first and only choices and didn’t. Don’t really care who’s “fault” it is other then they should pound sand and read the regs next year rather then getting a (likely much much better odds) chance at it again.Are you seriously giving FWP credit?

Personal accountability seems to be lost this day in age and everyone wants to blame someone other then themselves. It really is a ball kicker to the people who still have it when they bend over to it. Sucks. People messed up their apps, should be kicked out of draw end of story.Are you seriously giving FWP credit? They have proven to be the most inept agency in the entire west.

Here in NM if you make a mistake on your application it gets thrown in the trash. If the State says they screwed up then I have to believe it’s on the State and not the applicant.Personal accountability seems to be lost this day in age and everyone wants to blame someone other then themselves.
