Anybody know when they are to draw? What are they waiting for anyway? It can't be that difficult to figure out how many animals you have and how many licenses you can issue by area. It is getting late.

Even if it were January 1, some folks would bitch.

couple weeks for online results

I'm betting there are some quota changes coming. mtmuley

Antelope, deer and elk don't get drawn until mid August. You just have to wait. At 2% interest on that money from the applications, the state of Montana can easily earn thousands$$$, why hurry?

Mid July, Shrap..

I think John is right on the Mid-July...I KNOW you are right on the interest...odd how the drawings take place one fiscal quarter after the applications go in....

It's like nobody saw what I posted... LOL

we were lookin at your avatar...

If you do draw a 'loper permit the chances of getting a decent buck will be difficult due to the loss of numbers from last winter. I would look at Wyoming for left over tags. MTG

Actually, I'm just hoping for a point, not a tag.

Too bad you can't just buy a point here..

That is one of the better ones..

LOL, I thought there must have been a distraction..

July 20-ish.

Or what HighRidge said!

No matter when they draw my chances are looking pretty dim. The area I put in for went down to 10 tags total due to the winter kill.

Where are you seeing the final tag numbers?

Quotas won't be finalized until the Commision meets July 14.

I'm betting you won't be getting anything til August...

They came out in the local newspapers.

...and they are not final.

Every year deer and elk are posted first. Then antelope. Just what I've noticed. But I'm betting around the 20th also. mtmuley

The antelope (and deer and elk) drawings used to be in August, but it's been July the past few years, I suspect since they started taking applications over the Net. A lot fewer envelopes to open!

I know I won't be getting one....

I didn't apply. I was at work at 3:00 on the 1st thinking "I just know I forgot to do something"


So I won't be bowhunting Elk on the CMR either

Don't expect anything until August. They don't draw until the last week of July. The left-over tags go on sale August 8 after the drawings are final.
