Navigating the Western Application Season | Episode 161
In this episode of the Elk Talk Podcast, Randy and Corey take a deep dive into the confusing, and often frustrating, world of western hunting applications.
This podcast looks at why hunting systems have become so complex, specifically how state legislatures (rather than biologists) often create "harebrained" rules like Montana’s "one-point sandwich" and New Mexico’s 0.75 rounding rule.
Other key highlights include:
- Why applying as a party in New Mexico can actually hurt your odds.
- Explaining how you can be "unsuccessful" and "successful" at the same time in the Montana draw cycle.
- A candid look at how Montanan legislative "handouts" and carve-outs have pushed nonresident numbers far beyond the original 17,000 non-resident tag caps.
