Yes we are very fortunate to have 10 (WT Deer, M Deer, RM Elk, B Bear, Mtn Lion, Mtn Goat, BH Sheep, S Moose, Buffalo, and Antelope) of the North American 29 Big Game animals here in Montana. If these are the "Big Ten" that you have killed, then Congratulations.

Licenses for the first 5 animals that I listed and archery Antelope in some units are available every year. You can also buy a bighorn Sheep license in one of the 5 unlimited units, but if you kill a ram you have to wait 7 years before you can apply for another tag. The odds of drawing a Goat, Moose, or Buffalo tag are very low, and if you do draw a Goat or Moose tag, you have to wait 7 years before you can apply again.

So realistically you can hunt 6 of the 10 Montana big game animals every year. That's almost doing it every year. laugh


Buffalo wasn't included in the 10, Grizzly bear was, and I do have both...
