Montana Alternate list

[cahunter805]

Anybody draw a low number? Incredible there was almost 4,000 people signed up this year.

I was probably one of the last people to get an email with only a week left in the season last year. That was at 760, so you have a chance if you are there or below.

My wife is 393. We're hunting in September so unfortunately that's probably not low enough

 

[Flatrock]

Oooooof. 2,507 here... Oh well, I've got enough going on this fall already.

Wonder how the person feels that is #1 on the list? Yea it's great you'll get a tag but of all the apps where a guy prays to be the first name out of the hat and then it finally happens and it's for a general tag....

 

[Tiredofthebickering]

#1141 on the deer combo list . . . ugh

But dad is #301 so we might have a chance.

 

[deer_shooter]

1967 here. Good thing I wasn't counting on it.

 

[Henry22]

#1082 on deer combo for me.

Anybody care to give me a quick rundown of how this works? Are you eligible to get a license or an additional license in Montana? I'm going to go read some for myself as well. Just curious.

Say you don't get drawn for the general non-resident; in June FWP offered a chance to sign up for an alternates list lottery. Those licenses that get turned back between now and end of the season get offered to the alternate list. The lower the number you get issued the more likely you are to have a chance at buying a returned license. This isn't for extra licenses.

I applied for the elk combo and my number is 1020 out of 1518 I guess it’s a good thing I have 2 pp going into next year for the combo and will purchase one before I apply.

So it's just for people that did not draw a license? If a nonresident drew an Elk B license could they get another one this way? Interesting concept.

This is for those that wanted one of the combos (Deer Combo, Elk Combo, Big Game Combo)...yes if you drew a B (cow tag) you could have applied as an alternate for a combo tag

Much appreciated.

#351 for deer combo list

 

[Wildabeest]

I’m 2664 out of 3043 for Big Game Combo and my son is 1510. Not looking good for either of us. He drew an elk B and I drew both elk and deer B tags, so we’ll still be hunting the smooth heads this year.

 

[LCH]

I'm feeling pretty good about my chances!

 

[CUElk]

My son is 757.

Is there an alternate list for whitetail B tags that I missed putting my name on?

I think you need to go through an outfitter for those.
