Oletrapper: yes, you put in for a drawing (Lottery) already in MT
Didn't know. Kentucky has a lottery here. It's 10 bucks. Your up against 48K to 60K. If you win you still have to spend $30.00 for the tag. Big whoop. If you are drawn and a non-resident the license is $365.00. Not a bad deal but the odds are astronomical. $10+$30+$365. Most people can afford that. Of course there is the cost of the guide, lodging, food, etc. I have put in every year since it started. Not a smell. I know several in my end of the state that have been drawn for cow tags however. Our herd is new but expanding rapidly. Fish and Wildlife here says it is very possible the next world record could come from KY. We shall see. OT
