No applicants at this level — scaled from the nearest level by entry weight. A dash means Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks did not publish a count for that level. How we compute these.

Optional, not counted above: Bonus point only (no application) (July 1 - Sept 30, per species) $25 and Bonus point only (no application), Moose (July 1 - Sept 30) $75.

Next application window: opens Mar 1, closes May 1, 2027 (expected) · results ~May 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.

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.
Not an application service
This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
