For those in the know, I heard nearly 5,000 applicants got turned away for the NR Big Game Combo tag in 2017. This was quite a difference from prior years where there were always some tags not sold. Some of these folks jumped back in and got the Elk only tag. My question is do you think this is a fluke or will the odds continue to get tougher in Montana? Do you think the State will reconsider the NR Guaranteed tag or risk losing the faithful to Colorado and Idaho? I've hunted the same area with the same friends for 7 years now and I feel like that relationship is in serious jeopardy in the years ahead.
