Montana changed the way they sell surplus antelope licenses about 6 or 7-years ago. The way it is set up now I like it better. They draw a set number of licenses lets just use unit-560 as an example. They draw 800-antelope either sex tags in the general drawing. After the animal survey in the field is done and if they want to raise the total quota of tags issued to 1200? They allow current tag holders to purchase extra doe fawn tags for that unit. This keeps the hunter numbers down to 800 but the tag numbers up to 1200. I believe this is the best way to handle the surplus tags, it improves the overall quality of the hunt by limiting the number of hunters.
