Montana Antelope draw question

[bonedogg]

Good day all,

Quick question from someone not familiar with the Montana Draw System. My hunting group applied for antelope( not antelope B or 900) in one of the northern Montana zones last year for the first time. We all purchased Priority points last year and this year as it was our second application. The charts I have looked at for draw results show about ten to twenty non-resident tags per year. Is it a completely random draw with your points providing multiple chances or is there any type of priority or tiers that give a person an understanding of when they might draw? Sorry for the convoluted question, just getting excited to go on a road trip.

thanks in advance,

no priority given towards points it just gets your name in the hat more times. Your base point(s) is squared adds your name to the hat that many times (for you that's 1) and your application adds your name to the hat. As a party application, your base points are averaged between the group...if you all have the same number of base points that math is pretty easy. If you have a guy that has more or less points things change.
