RE: montana deadline
What are you applying for?
The Deer Combo has historically had about a 20% chance of getting drawn. Even with your bonus points you only have about a 50/50 chance of getting drawn this year.
The Elk & Deer Combo is more expensive, but hashistorically had about a60% chance of getting drawn. That's the one I applied for. If you are applying for the Elk & Deer combo and still aren't getting drawn then you must have some pretty bad luck.
