One thing that irks me about montana is that if they are in so need of money why dont they raise the # of licenses they give to NR. for instance last year for region 7 there was a quota of 13,000 Resident tags and 1,300 NR tags.For antelope
Only 10,000 residents applied so there was a surpluss of 3,000 resident tags
3,000 NR hunters apllied so 1,700 didnt get any license
why not give those surpluss tags to the NR hunters that would have netted them $340,000 in revenue @ $200 per tag
wouldnt that make sense?
If you look I think you will find that 10,492 residents applied in Region 7 as their first choice. Many residents draw a region 7 tag as a 2nd choice,so those extra tags didn't go unsold. There are many districts that the draw odds for residents are fairly low. You are allowed a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of districts to apply for. The stats you see again only reflect those residents that put Region 7 as their first choice.
