Montana Antelope Draw question

[djhamilton00]

Does anyone know when the rifle antelope draw results will be posted for this year? I applied for region 700 and can't find a date on their website. Your help is appreciated.

the moose, sheep, and goat have already happened.

I'm waiting for the special deer/elk draw, I thought I read it should be posted by July 9th, but not sure.

Just check your drawing status below...

I think the 700 antelope tag is usually close to 90-99% draw odds? I drew/hunted 700 once, didn't get a buck, but saw a couple nice ones, was later in the season though, and that year I think blue tongue hurt numbers, along with rough winters the year before etc...

geez I hope it's sooner than later, I have to wait til July 19th to know if I'm elk hunting? The archery season is in Sept. that's like less than 2 months from drawing to hunting! They need to implement those system changes next year! ie general/special draw have the same deadline/1 tag.

The reason they do this is that many of the special tags require you to first have a general non-resident big game combo tag. Even now that they have separated many of the special licenses off as stand-alone "B licenses", what you want to apply for may well depend on if you draw the big game combo.
