The antelope numbers has been low for the last couple of years due to winter kills. This year was the 1st time I didn't get drawn for antelope. NR tags is still almost a year wait and I cannot tell you the chances of getting drawn.
I normally hunt area 450 in Cascade, MT and there are a few BMAs in the area. For more info, checkout or monitor the MT FWP website at http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/licenses/buyAppl/nowAvailable.html
WY has the best antelope numbers and best chances for NRs.
Hope this helps.
