Montana Draw

[Kiwi]

I think I understand the MT application process but have been looking into how I can apply for archery elk and have rifle deer as a backup.

I am buying bonus points in MT for elk (I have 5) and plan to apply for an archery elk permit. I know I have to draw a General Elk or Big Game Combo first. But if I don't draw the elk permit then I'd like to rifle hunt deer in November with a general tag.

Is there anyway I can do this without applying for a General Big Game (Deer and Elk) combo?

Thanks and hopefully this makes sense!

Only way is to draw a tag on the alternate list

Or - select the option to keep the gen tag if you are drawn a are not drawn for permit it was the second selection on that page

Thanks guys. I guess my plan wont work as I cannot apply for a general elk combo and general deer combo separately in the same year.
