Montana might be one of the most confusing states in the West for nonresident hunters to figure out when it comes to the deer and elk draw, and in this episode, Brady sits down with Dave Barnett of GOHUNT to break it all down. From combination licenses and preference points to bonus points and the infamous zero-point quirk, this conversation unpacks how Montana’s deer and elk application process really works for nonresidents. Dave explains why Montana’s system feels so complicated, and why understanding the difference between opportunity, dream hunts, and points matters when building a strategy. They also dive into GOHUNT’s new Missouri launch, Midwest whitetail opportunities, the importance of e-scouting during application season, and how Insider Plus members can get expert help navigating deadlines, unit research, and application planning. If Montana applications have ever made your head spin, this episode is for you.
