Yes, my bad, thanks.I believe it’s 25% of tags are allocated to zero point holders, not that 25% of zero point applicants get drawn.
Yup. Me too and my sources were spot on so @huntandfly can buzz offI hate being right
AgreedYup. Me too and my sources were spot on so @huntandfly can buzz off
Or he said “the commission didn’t give me what I want, I’ll screw the draw up so I have to draw more permits”Complete incompetence. You would think with everything that has occurred leading up to the draw, FPW would say "we better not screw this up" and take the appropriate steps to ensure. I know, it's no surprise, right!
Maybe an internal mock draw process, system user/internal acceptance testing, etc. would be useful prior to the actual draw. End the end though, you can't fix stupid I guess.
At this point I think we have to assume this was intentional.
Wasn’t specifically trying to call anyone out, I just find it kind of funny what theories emerged from lots of different people and how quickly enraged the group can becomeYup. Me too and my sources were spot on so @huntandfly can buzz off
I gotta be honest the tribe mentality around here is pretty funny. I was just trying to make a joke fellas let’s not take ourselves so seriouslyAgreed

To be clear: this is a bad thing, MT FWP should be embarrassed and it will be really tough on the animals in those units now and in the future
I can remember Tabor being obnoxiously clear about first and only choice. Conspiracy theorist in me says they were in it for a way to get more tags. Probably not true but this is a colossal screw up.Pretty damn convenient for Hanky if not
I ain’t in the tribe. And 3% of applications is extremely misleading. Tags for the units are already way too high. Double or triple in most.I gotta be honest the tribe mentality around here is pretty funny. I was just trying to make a joke fellas let’s not take ourselves so seriously
I am in agreement that MT FWP is grossly mis-managing elk and deer herds, and in some units worse than others.I ain’t in the tribe. And 3% of applications is extremely misleading. Tags for the units are already way too high. Double or triple in most.
The fact that there was no apology in the email / press release speaks volumes. “We screwed up, but we’re not sorry.”This is just another day for FWP. I doubt theres much embarrassment felt
Doug, I spent two seasons since hunting a general unit in western Montana, and didn’t hunt last year. I work part time in Region 7 on natural gas pipelines. After seeing what I seen in 2019/20, and other accounts in the general districts in Region 3 I hunted previously since 2013, the Custer units weren’t so bad after all! Not comparable to Wyoming or limited units Colorado, but decent over all. It was an absolute zoo in the districts we hunt in western MT. I wouldn’t not deer hunt in Region 7, but pronghorn and elk can be decent. It’s far from easy hunting elk over in Custer and from my scouting/hunting experience only since 2016 most guys drive around eating donuts and drinking coffee, complaining about not seeing any elk. Most people will not be successful in SE Montana.You had the tag in 2018, you swore the area off too much pressure. Said you would never be back. Since then they have only added permits.
