Licenses
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has not offered a deer license in Hunting District 622 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it; the Montana deer hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

What Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. 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
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.
