My wife and I drew cow tags in the area of the Big Belts we're most familiar with, but not local whitetail B tags. Still waiting on pronghorn and bison.

Sounds about right. My friend didn't draw but his dad did
Posted By: laker Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
Figured they'd knock out the antelope today to but I guess not. I thought they always did same day as b tags

Drew nothing.... This is getting old!!! My bonus point list is getting quite long...
Posted By: laker Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
Fianc� and I drew our antelope tags. Sounds like everyone I've talked to has drawn them
Posted By: 6MMWASP Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
I drew an antelope here in region 700. Now if I can just find a buck that is not the last of his kind in 200 miles.
Posted By: laker Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
Down here around baker antelope numbers are looking real good with lots off little ones running around. Not near like they have been back a few years but for sure better than they have been the last two years

son, wife and i drew 700 antelope, my wifes favorite hunt
Posted By: Mule Deer Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
Great!

My wife and I drew either-sex pronghorn tags for right around here in southwestern Montana, one of the few areas in the state with pretty high populations. We didn't get the winter-kill seen further east. There isn't much public land here, but there are a few places to hunt.
Posted By: scottf270 Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
No Unit 700 Antelope tag for me and the nephew. Still got our deer tag for Montana and one for Wyoming. Two state swing the second week of November.

I will be hunting a cow in the Elkhorns where these guys are plentiful. Tenderloins are the best red meat you can get regardless of the horns...

Shrap, I have a friend who got a cow tag in 380 a couple years ago�sorted his way through 27 nice bulls to find a cow�..
Posted By: Downstream Re: Montana drawing - 07/22/14
Once again, did not draw archery elk in 410.
did not draw cow elk in 410.
Looks like I will be a spectator once again.

Laker: I drew a Buck Antelope tag (actually either sex but I do not partake of that option!) for area 321 here in SW Montana - I chose not to apply/Hunt Antelope in the decimated Region 700 districts again this year.
I first killed an Antelope in Region 700 back in 1969 and have been successful thereabouts virtually every year since then, up until two years ago anyway, when I was drawn but chose NOT to Hunt because of extremely low populations.
I see they are only offering a small fraction of tags there in Region 700 this year compared to the decades long normal numbers!
Best of luck to those that did get 700 tags - that huge area is wonderful Antelope country and beautiful besides - I miss it.
This year will be the first time I have Hunted Antelope (for myself) west of the Mosby/Melstone/Hardin line (west boundary of Region 700)!
I just had a dandy (thick!) 14" Buck Antelope pass by my front porch only 300 yards distant!
I am already getting excited for the October 11th Antelope/Rifle opener!
Good luck and safe Hunting to all the "lucky" special permit recipients - including the other 224 area 321 Antelope Hunters.
Hold into the wind

I did not even bother to put in for antelope this year.

They are still a rare sight.


Posted By: shortactionsmoker Re: Montana drawing - 07/23/14
I'd love to bust an antelope, but I didn't even apply!

Posted By: shrapnel Re: Montana drawing - 07/23/14
They aren't all gone. Eastern Montana has been hit hard with long cold winters and disease, but Central is still looking good. I will be going the first time in 4 years this fall. I haven't put in for the 700 area for a few years, I have a great ranch to hunt but antelope are more than scarce there...

I drew antelope in 700 and deer in WY. Hunting with an outfitter, so hoping he has some goats around
Posted By: MTGunner Re: Montana drawing - 07/23/14
I drew an elk "A" tag and an antelope tag in my home state of MT. Will be a busy hunting season for this old man. MTG

This post reminded me to look into the results.

Wife and I both got a cow elk tag in 700. Hope we have some fun chasing some elk this Fall.
Posted By: ranger1 Re: Montana drawing - 07/23/14
Nothing for the boy or I here. Have antelope in my pasture and walking through the yard, but no tag. Oh well, drew a good antelope tag in WY.
Posted By: Solduc Re: Montana drawing - 07/24/14
Drew antelope 330 tag
Been over 20 years since last hunting the Centennial Valley. Probably hasn't changed much.
Looking forward to this Fall hunting elk , deer and antelope with son and grandkids living in Dillon

Only put in for antelope this year for me and my son. Neither of us drew.
Posted By: WyoCoyoteHunter Re: Montana drawing - 07/27/14
Sounds like antelope are having a tough time all over.. My favorite unit west of town had 500 to 1000 permits in the forty odd years I have hunted it.. This year it had 100.. Went to another unit and drew.. best of luck to all ..
Posted By: HuntnShoot Re: Montana drawing - 07/27/14
Got my preferred deer A tag, 392. Just going to hunt the general elk this year. Neither bull nor cow were seen last season. Not a single damn elk. Talked to a few MFWP to get the story. They were strangely vague about the elk and the deer numbers where I usually hunt. I need to do some wolf hunting one of these years. I was told their numbers are strong.

I've been looking for a new one.

How could you have possibly drawn those two tags when you don't work for Fish & Game?
Posted By: jmgraham1986 Re: Montana drawing - 07/30/14
Thanks for the offer. Travis, I'll be right down the road from you, in Great Falls. Another wonderful import. I've been trying to get there for 9 years.

Hunting mule deer is my main goal these days. The elk were fun in NM but, I really caught the mule deer fever there and it's really not been the best of times for that state recently.

Posted By: deflave Re: Montana drawing - 07/30/14
I go there pretty regularly.

Just shoot me a PM. We can meet up down that way.

No luck for me other than getting mountain goat, breaks rifle bull and cow, rifle pronghorn and whitetail buck b tag. It's a good thing wyoming sent me a top notch pronghorn tag or I wouldn't have anything to do this fall.
