Montana elk landowner permits?

Craig · Mar 22, 2011

I was looking at Huntin fool web site and when you look at the draw odds in the elk category they show some Landowner elk permits. How do these work? Are they like the Landowner deer permits you have to apply for in March? Or are they tags that landowners get and then can sell to anyone they want? Can anyone apply or just Residents?

Thanks

I was looking at the stats for applicants/tags on the state website, and they list draw stats for landowner deer tags in there, but no draw stats for landowner elk tags. Leads me to believe that you cant get one in a draw, and that it would have to be sold by a landowner. Sorry, dunno if thats of any help.

I'm betting what you are looking at is landowner preference tags. Landowners in Montana can apply for special preference in our drawings. Far as I know, there are zero tags or permits for elk available by sale from a landowner, nr or resident. mtmuley

There are NO elk landowner tags in MT.If you go with a sponsored tag you can ONLY hunt on that landowners property/lease and you CANT do it with a deer/elk combo,deer combo only.

Landowner Sponsored Licenses

A Montana resident landowner may sponsor nonresidents for a Deer Combination license. The applicant must conduct all deer hunting on the deeded property of the landowner. It is the applicant's responsibility to find an enrolled landowner.

Obviously the huntin fool website is more for the fools than the hunters.

>make sense?

There were two landowners with two points and one of them drew, so the odds for two landowners with two points was 50%.
