Odds by point level — 2013 draw
Undersubscribed: 7 of 7 tags claimed by first-choice nonresident applicants in 2013. Everyone who applied drew and the rest went to the leftover draw — the 100% reflects low demand, not a great tag. A code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

Computed from the agency's published draw results. A dash means Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks did not publish a count for that level — it prints exact counts around the cut and folds the rest into a band. How we compute these.
What it costs (2026 nonresident fees)
Optional, not counted above: Bonus point only (no application) (July 1 - Sept 30, per species) $25.
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $20 (Jul 1 – Sep 30, expected) and adds a point for next year's draw.
Next application window: opens Mar 1, closes Apr 1, 2027 (expected) · results ~April 15. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.
Point creep & years to draw
Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

Montana's figures blend mandatory reporting with a phone and mail survey. FWP does not publish district-level hunter counts for elk or antelope, so success rates are missing for those.

How to read these numbers
Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
