Just put in my applications for moose/sheep/goat the other day. Now the dreaded wait. Sometimes I get scared that I might actually draw a tag, and then I remember the miniscule odds  :)

When does a person know the draw results in Montana? Is it as early as June?

sunny hill,

I hope to join a Alberta friend of mine on a Canmore hunt if and when he draws the tag.


Seems like hunting sheep and Mt goats is all I can think of anymore. Might be why I send thousands of dollars off to western states each year in hopes of acquiring a tag I have little to no chance of drawing. Almost like a gambling addiction. It may be worse because at least most gamblers have better odds.

I'll be hunting Mt goats in BC again this year. I probably could have been going on another sheep hunt if I would have taken a goat on one of my first two attempts. To me goats are the next best thing and a guided hunt for them is a little less expensive than a sheep hunt. Now add three of them togeter and I just don't know about that?

Well kicking around an OTC goat tag in AK this fall with my son-in-law so it may not be a total loss  ;)   If I can squeeze it in around all these elk and deer anyway   :D
