I left MT for a new job about 4 years ago. When I was there I always applied for area 700, where the odds always seemd to be very high, like in the 90% range. I rememebr about 11,000 applicants for 10,000 tags or some huge number like that.

Last few years as a non-resident, I successfully drew area 590 but the public land is scarce.

This year I applied in 700 for me, now a non-resident, and my son, still a resident. Both of us missed. I checked the odds and the draw was only 35% last year. 8300 applications for 3000 tags.


I should have checked the odds first. Have I missed out on some depredation or bad winters or something?
