At time of app yes . Now - noCan i return just the elk portion of my combo and keep the deer?
Willm, Last year I had friends turn back the elk portion and keep the deer if they did not draw 900-20.
100% accurate .Willm, I think that when you retain the deer licence and turn back the elk. FWP issues you a deer combo and takes the elk portion and sells it as an elk combo. The two combined are part of the 17000 deer elk combo limit and your deer combo does not count against the 4600 deer combo quota. If you draw a deer/elk combo and return the elk portion you should be guaranteed a deer combo as it is part of the 17000 deer/elk combo licences you just drew and not part of the 4600 deer combo licenses .
100% accurate .
I was always under the impression that was only an option to choose before the draw happened but once drawn I could only return the deer/elk combo between the issuing of the tags and beginning of the general season for the different amounts based on date/reason for returns.
I have my form completed laying here now thinking about turning it in because of a possible job change and NM trip in late Oct.
No . If you return now you return the entire thing - you have to decide at app time if your going to keep your tags if you don’t draw a permit . For the big game combo you can decide to keep the deer and return elk but that decision has to be made at app timeNow I'm confused maybe I've had this all wrong before. So you guys are saying if I decided today to return only the elk portion of my deer/elk combo I could get the elk portion refund of $323.00 and keep the deer tag?

You’ll only get a returned tag if you signed up for the alternates list and that deadline was June 1?This ^ is correct, post draw you can only get an 80% refund on the combo and then try and get a returned or left over deer tag.
We are trying to sus out how the permit/ refund works during the draw.
Good talk boys.
Montana should add some more complexity to their system.
If you all, who think about this stuff 10x more than most hunters, can’t agree on it, imagine how lost everyone else must be.

What tag in New Mexico did you draw ? Hate to see anyone return a tag but hey maybe I’ll get it if you do ! Good luckI'm sure they will in the many years I've applied nothing has ever gotten easier to understand. I couldn't imagine the confusion of a new hunter trying to figure those messes out in some states. Virginia isn't getting any easier either they just add to the add to the added. Lmao
