Your chance of drawing here

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has not offered an elk license in Hunting District 400 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Montana elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone

What Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. 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.
