Montana Antelope

[Paradox]

For you guys who live or visit the 700s in Montana, do you think the population has rebounded enough for them to increase tags this year?
Hunted the 700s last year on my wife's tag, had a blast but I noticed they have cut tags by 2/3 the last few years. I was wondering if we had a decent shot to draw again.
Thanks,
Ed

I have been hunting antelope up there for 5 of the last 6 years. I would say that there for sure will not be an increase in tags for 2013.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

The ranch I hunt is a 60 mile drive from where we stay every year. 30 miles of paved and 30 miles of gravel. I would estimate that they are still down 50%ish where I hunt in Rosebud/Garfield county.

Im guessing no increase on tags by my observations. Populations around here are not good. Normally I dont see alot during the winter as I must not be in there wintering grounds. But from last summer/fall didnt see many compared to other years. I live a ways out of Miles City in Custer County.
