Your odds at 0 points · 2013 draw · no nonresident tags in 2017 — showing 2013
0 first-choice applicants for 1 tag
6 first-choice applicants for 10 tags (all residencies) in 2013, so every first-choice applicant drew and 4 tags went to the leftover draw. The 100% reflects low demand that year, and a code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | 100% (small sample) same at every level | — | — |
Computed from the agency's published draw results. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes no per-level applicant counts for this hunt. As a lower choice, 630-20 drew no one in 2013, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2025
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of Hunting District 630 | 1,664 | 799 | 48% |
Across every license type in Hunting District 630, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks counted 1,664 hunters and 799 deer taken in 2025, and 48% of them took a deer. 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.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2013 draw, the latest on file, computed from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' published results (computed from the agency's published draw results). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
