Last year 4 of my buddies and I applied for gen. deer tags and did not draw. We all put in for a preference point so we all will have 1 point this year. We will apply as a party. I am just wondering if anyone could tell me what our chances of drawing tags would be. I have been on Montanas web site but the draw odds are only for specific units that you can apply for after you draw a gen. tag. There is nothing telling me what the odds are for getting the gen. tag.

my dad and grandpa sent theres in 2007 and they got it in 2008. my grandpa ended up getting a mule deer. but they only sent the permit in just one year. i dont know what the odds are though

what does it cost to apply for a tag and for the license in montana? Just trying to get an idea. Thanks,

I went to Montana in '04 and to get drawn for a combo tag (elk/deer) the odds were like 75 percent. To get drawn for just a deer tag was much lower, I wanna say about 30 percent. We applied for combo tags to boost our odds, but the tag is like $750 (or at least it was) compared to a couple hundred for just the deer tag. Those are just ball park numbers though and it was five years ago so i don't know how much of that still holds true. Good luck getting drawn though, its amazing out there
