MT- M/S/G results 26

I honestly dont remember the odds back then. I put in for that unit because it seemed like a pretty good chance. Fewer applicants, more tags.
Haven't drawn since.

I should have paid more attention when I was a kid here in Montana. I was happy to go kill a deer and an elk. The big 3 got my attention later. mtmuley
 
Moose tags 2006 610 vs 2026 312.

Sheep tags 2006 332 vs 2026 105.

Goat tags 2006 293 vs 180.

Fwp erases the data before that.

Pretty interesting trends and not surprising people aren’t drawing when you increase demand. Hopefully the trends change.
That's pretty sad to see. It sure would be nice to see a change in this, even though I'm not so sure we ever will.
 
Granted this was back in 1990, ...first year I put in for a moose tag I drew a tag for Sage creek area, Gallatin Canyon. I think the odds were better back then.

That is a big part of the problem. In 1990 they gave out 55 moose licenses in unit 323, this year it's 10.

Fast cars, fast women...at 20-23 years old normal guys are thinking through certain anatomy.😁

Western Montana would need some restoration and stop developing. Conservation easements came too late for western Montana

Those are the numbers that made me figure the odds had to of gotten worse coupled with no money to apply
 
Im just glad I don’t have a big itch to hunt one of those or I’d probably be refinancing a paid off truck and putting my money down before things get worse
 
I remember people forgetting to apply. I don't see how that could happen now.

People would also apply inconsistently, I have done it myself, I am sure that is rare today.
The first 25 years I applied I drew 2 moose, (1 was a cow) and 3 goat tags. Ending about 2000.
I have never been consistent applying for sheep. I would rather hunt deer. I have hunted the unlimited districts a few times but I just can't take sheep hunting seriously. The glass till your eyes bleed thing... I just can't find the enjoyment in it.
