Two lucky Montana hunters and a hunter from Utah will get another shot at the dream this fall after winning Montana’s big game SuperTag lottery Monday.
The three winners are:
· Mountain goat: Seth Becker, Conrad
· Moose: James Rolle, Missoula
· Bighorn sheep: Robert Ethington, Spanish Forks, Utah
While resident and nonresident hunters could buy an unlimited number of $5 chances to win any Montana SuperTag hunting license, each winner purchased five or fewer chance to hunt a bighorn sheep, mountain goat, or moose.
Montana’s mountain goat, moose, and bighorn sheep hunting licenses are among the state’s most prized big game hunting licenses. Each year, Montana attracts more than 55,600 applications for about 1,000 mountain goat, moose, and bighorn sheep hunting licenses that can be used in a specified hunting district. SuperTag winners, however, can hunt in any hunting district in Montana where seasons are established for the big game species identifed on the SuperTag license.
SuperTag chances for the bighorn sheep license were the most popular among hunters with 21,216 chances sold. Hunters purchased 11,923 chances for a moose and 6,679 chances for a mountain goat SuperTag. Montana residents purchased a total of 21,290 chances compared to 18,528 purchased by nonresidents.
Sales revenue for all three drawings combined will provide nearly $200,000 to enhance public hunting access and boost FWP enforcement efforts. Hunters who purchased a SuperTag chance can visit fwp.mt.gov, and click on Special Drawing Status to see how they fared in the computerized random drawing.
Chances for the deer, elk, bison, antelope and mountain lion SuperTag drawing are avialable through Aug. 2. S uperTag chances are sold at all FWP License Providers or via the Internet.
