Will market volatility and or heath concerns with the virus influence your western hunting plans

Think this may finally hit some of those states in the nose this year possibly. To early to say right now.

Too many states app date has already passed . I wish this had all happened a month sooner to up my draw odds for LE in Montana . Jk, I Actually wish this crap never happened

Kinda makes you question the wisdom of relying so heavily on NR's.

I guess, but this is pretty unprecedented. Was someone supposed to hedge that in 2020 only some residents would go hunting, and NR hunting might be shut down? I don’t really think anyone could or would have been planning for that.

I put in for an elk permit in you know were, but honestly I had the app filled out and up twice and didn't do it. Put in last minute. I wish it was over also causing so much stress and heartache for so many.

Anybody rethinking how big a deal it is to let WY sit on your money since Jan?

Nope. Wish they had more of it. The percent I’d lose in fees seems like a bargain to how I’ve been doing in the market.

Haha, at the current rate I wish WY was holding all my money!

Keep this under wraps, or everyone will have the same genius idea. And there go your chances for a great tag.....

Well I checked into it today and I am now # 55 on the waiting list... Evidently I should have kept it under wraps! LOL.

The list was probably 40 deep before the pandemic. If I had a crystal ball, I'd say August hunts are not going to happen for NR, September is a maybe. Highly unlikely that the state will allow outside travel unless the pandemic is contained. I have a good feelign that it will be contained here well before the rest of the L48. I'm also pessimistic about Canada opening the border before August. Its a good year to be a resident hunter.

Glad I own land and have in state (ND) opportunities. River bottom whitetails and I’m guaranteed 2 tags ,archery and landowner. So even if MT ND boarder shuts down and I can’t hunt mule deer and elk atleast I’ll be Whitetail hunting

@Oak... this has the makings for a real interesting fall

What do you think the state will do for those who have drawn limited tags and are not allowed to hunt? Asking for a friend....

Manually, like in person? Or does that include the phone?

The online list isn’t being updated... I’m going to keep logging in periodically to see if that changes.

I wonder if it is truly processing delays or is the state attempting to reduce people being out traveling and avoid the potential of people coming from across state lines. I wonder if this continues into late summer if CPW would forego the leftover lists to reduce traveling and such or would the financial hit be too high as @wllm1313 displayed earlier.

In this case I think the third party vendor that prints and mails the tags is closed as a non-essential business.
You can still buy an OTC tag in person at a vendor.

I live out west......you guys should definitely cancel all plans to come out here, I’m thinking it’ll be safe in 2045 or so!

Don’t worry . The mule deer in Montana , and other western states will get pounded as usual

So you’re pumped for your $800 2021 resident elk tag I take it?

It looks like IDFG commission is meeting tomorrow to limit NR tags in some manner.
