I tried both methods, it’s reassuring that some people’s results took several hours to show up after others. I’m gonna chalk it up to fwp computer's being slow, maybe for Christmas I’ll buy em a commodore 128 so they can upgrade from the 64.
Thank you.
Perhaps you are missing the yellow box that says "enter hunter search criteria". This opens a new box where you enter your info.
One of my employees from NC went in with 2 points and drew. It'll be his first western hunt. Looking forward to another season hunting MT!
Isn’t there an option when you apply to have your combo refunded if you don’t draw a LE?
Yeh mines about the samePretty sure I was a able to snag general deer and elk with zero points from the return pool. They could not make these results postings any more confusing if they literally tried to! I'm still puzzled with the message on deer because it says I applied for a BGC and an elk permit when I didn't. I only applied for BGC. But I think I've got both elk and deer.

After reading it again, I don't think I actually drew anything. I didn't notice that the middle section was just definitions vs. my results. I think I'm outta luck
.Looking at this I DONT think you drew. Under successful it says "you do not have any successfully drawn licenses/permits for drawing.."Pretty sure I was a able to snag general deer and elk with zero points from the return pool. They could not make these results postings any more confusing if they literally tried to! I'm still puzzled with the message on deer because it says I applied for a BGC and an elk permit when I didn't. I only applied for BGC. But I think I've got both elk and deer.

Yup - I didn’t get a released tag like I thought I drew in the random drawAfter reading it again, I don't think I actually drew anything. I didn't notice that the middle section was just definitions vs. my results. I think I'm outta luck
I dunno how that’s possible
I don’t either. But here are my results. The deer permit I drew had a quota of 25 permits.
