Have you received your Montana non-resident 2017 elk or deer big combo license in the mail yet?
Does anyone know when they are mailed? Thanks!

I suspect something has gone awry with the system. After the initial draw, my status had gone through the pending, successful, unsuccessful, back to successful, etc. turmoil. It finally stabilized and reported successful on both the big game license and the special 900 series permit. It still shows that as my status as of today. Trouble is, I just received a refund check in yesterday's mail! Anyone else have this happen?

I gave up my spot for an Alaskan moose hunt after the website said I drew. I better not get F'd on this...

Maybe I'll get lucky and a combo tag will show up in the mail instead of my refund for not drawing!!

cdogger, you are talking to the wrong people. Get on the phone. Good luck and I wouldn't cash the refund yet.

Finally got thru to MFWP. Apparently the info on the website is accurate. I did draw my big game combo and 900 archery permit. I, as well as many others, were issued refund checks in error.

Bank error in your favor! Did they say what they would do if you cashed the check? Being from Montana, I'm embarrassed. But knowing how FWP operates I am not surprised....
Anyway, congrats on your tags and good luck.

Last year around 200 people returned their big game combos.

The guy I talked to was quite concerned about me sending the check back asap. I told him I would send it back when I receive my license. With all the glitches happening this year, it seems the prudent thing to do. No need to be embarrassed. I've been hunting your beautiful state for over 30 years. First time I've ever had an issue with MFWP. I'm sure they're not happy about the problems either.

Same story for me too..
Luckily, I am still successfull for my big game combo and LE elk tag. They just screwed up and sent me my refund as well. The lady I talked to said she will call me back eventually with hoe to handle the refund check.

My permit came today but no sign of the combo license yet. In years past it seems they came in the opposite order long as they get it here in the next month i'm happy. I'm sure they will get it together eventually. Best of luck

A friend of mine called me yesterday, he had checked his draw was unsuccessful, so booked another hunt in another state, yesterday his NR 410-20 tag comes in the mail ,all a person can do is shake your head.

CDogger it still embarrasses me. How many people are going to both cash their check and keep the tag/permit? It also ticks me off as I'm supposed to trust this system to perform a moose/goat/sheep draw in a couple of weeks.

Jeck, did you receive both the Big game combo license and the permit? Or, just the permit? I received the permit yesterday, but no license as of yesterday's mail. Just curious.

LE elk permit arrived yesterday....still waiting on the Big Game Combo license. Been one of the fortunate ones on the Montana website this year...as my drawing status never changed. But given all the reports above, I was holding my breath as I opened a piece of mail which, on the outside, looked a whole lot like a refund check.

I got my big game combo in the mail 2 days ago. At least it appears to be. Its not like the license my partner got at all, and not like what I got last year. It is just a plastic coated thin piece, it has the cut out dates on it and says its a license. My partner got his and it is the heavy old style just like last year. Whats up with that
