I’m one of the very very lucky less than a dozen nonresidents to draw a MT limited sheep permit this year. What an amazing privilege. 302-20. I am also fortunate to have plenty of time for the hunt. I will be spending many weeks in MT this summer and fall!
As a nonresident of MT I am especially grateful to have this opportunity. I apply for all kinds of species in many states. Usually 5 to 7 states for sheep. I’m an optimist and always think “there’s a chance” for everything. Except MT sheep. It’s the one tag I always looked at my application as a worthwhile donation to a good cause with some microscopic chance of personal upside. Well dang! I was wrong. I don’t know what I’ll have to do to pay the universe back for this tag but it’s gonna take awhile and some effort.
