Fish and Game is sending emails in batches, and just because your hunting buddy received an email before you, doesn’t mean yours isn’t coming.

Results of the deer, elk, pronghorn, fall black bear, fall turkey, and swan controlled hunt drawings are now available. NOTE TO HUNTERS: The blue postcards recently mailed are incorrect. Please check the online results, or your email, for correct controlled hunt drawing results.

For more information about how to view your drawing results, visit Fish and Game's Controlled Hunt Results Information webpage.

A Note on Resident Capped Zone Elk Tags

Hunters are reminded that anyone who applied for a controlled elk hunt (except Super Hunts, Extra Hunts, or Depredation Hunts) is ineligible to buy a capped zone elk tag until five days after tags go on sale.

Sales dates for capped elk zones except the Sawtooth Zone is July 10 at 10 a.m. MDT. The Sawtooth Zone elk tags will go on sale at 10 a.m. on July 12 for in-person purchases and 1 p.m. for online purchases. Sawtooth tags will be evenly divided between in-person and online sales.

New CWD rules could affect your hunts

Fish and Game has the following changes for the 2024 hunting season: 

  • Unit 18 was added to Unit 14, which makes up the CWD Management Zone for 2024. Unit 15 was removed from the Management Zone because no positive animals have been found there after extensive testing. 
  • New for 2024, CWD testing is mandatory in Units 18, 23, 24, and 32A for mule deer and white-tailed deer and continues in Unit 14, but does not apply to elk and moose taken in any of these units. Units 23, 24, and 32A are not within the CWD Management Zone, so carcass transportation restrictions do not apply.
  • People hunting in CWD Management Zone must abide by special hunting rules, which can be seen here.
