Struck out on antelope and elk, but drew a NR archery mule deer in 161-164. Should be a good time--congrats to other successful applicants this year. And for those that got skunk-city, sorry. I feel your pain.
Appreciate folks weighing in on this thing, sent the committee my thoughts (some of which were based on observations on this forum), together with the senator and representative in my district.
Good luck with your hunt--I'd be interested to hear how it goes. My buddy and I have the permit from November 7-15 and working through some of the same issues. And, he doesn't know I intend on stuffing his pack full of bacon before we set off each morning.
Points for me—was debating on putting in for mule deer, but I’m waiting another year. Partly due to uncertainty these days, and partly just bad timing if I draw.
Drew 339 elk tag. Got tired of hanging on to points for the Elkhorns. Live in Helena, so this should be a fun fall.
no dice on deer permit.
hope everyone had good luck this year!
