Monte Carlo over the common pool, scaled to the nonresident cap. 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. As a lower choice, 632-20 drew no one in 2021, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2021 draw, the latest on file, computed from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' published results (monte Carlo over the common pool, scaled to the nonresident cap). 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.
