Montana draw 2026

[Meppy06]

I did e tag also for first time . See how it goes

The e tag deal isn’t all to bad I still prefer a paper tag but just make sure to download your tag before you go hunting. you won’t be able to validate it if you are somewhere without service if you don’t

I believe they are just separate draws and permit results haven’t come out. Unfortunately I would assume if your combo tag was not drawn your permit won’t be successful. But I could be wrong!

We must not be getting enough nonresident funding to run the draw on time this year. Time for a price hike.

Could have sure used another $50 dollars per NR, but thanks to mcs/moga they got a $35 dollar hike.

Want to bet if apps are down or not?

I am so stoked! I was hoping for the combo hunt, brothers adventures. I drew, and am so stoked to have drawn my first limited entry bull permit. I got lucky too! The percentages weren’t on my side.

I am going to do my best to journal the experience. I killed 5 bulls before leaving Montana at the age of 23. Life, and my ex, got in the way. I hadn’t killed one since. I pray for good luck and blessings.

Will there be helicopters involved?

And if you’re in a spot with a spotty service but just enough to confuse your phone, you might get a spinning wheel trying to validate - just turn it to airplane mode to validate the tag.

That’s a possibility! I’ve never drawn a tag like this and I’d love to have a great adventure! I actually have a high school friend that’s a helicopter pilot and I’m going to start by hitting him up! I am a pretty daring guy and am up for corner crossing too.

That’s a tag that encapsulates all of MTs elk issues in a nice little package. Happy to help in research with anything I have although it probably isn’t much and certainly dated. Send me a PM when the plan starts to form.

So, in plain terms: with your points ramping up each year, your history looks a lot stronger than the resident-wide averages. A fair estimate is that your cumulative draw chance over that stretch is roughly 89%.


I HATE IT HERE

Anybody know why it shows unsuccessful for my big game combo and deer permit. But my elk permit as pending?

Been reading on other forums and on Facebook there’s tons of folks in this same situation. Shows unsuccessful for combo tag but then pending for elk permit …. Maybe everyone will get a tag lol
