Well I'm still all sorts of shook up, this year planned on doing general unit deer and elk in Montana. However knowing how their point system works we decided to apply for a hard to draw unit and when we didn't draw we'd collect our bonus point for the year. I picked a HD where our odds were 0.3% in our favor of drawing the only 5 non-resident tags, last year only 2 were rewarded with a cap of 5 non-resi tags maximum.
Just looked it up yesterday and my dad, bud and I (applied as a party so we all get a tag) drew our tags in the Missouri Breaks either-sex rifle elk tags! Guys apply 10-15yrs for this tag and we drew it on our first try, I feel more than blessed right now. I was in shock, I refreshed the page at least 10 times and am calling MT G&F today lol
Now the work starts, cancelled my beach vacation to save time and in the works on a summer trip out there for boots on the ground and then going to be out for 2 weeks, getting there 3 days before the season to try and locate some bulls for opening morning.
