Monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools. 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, 280-00 drew no one in 2009, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2009
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of Hunting District 280 | 1 | 1 | — |
Across every license type in Hunting District 280, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks counted 1 hunter and 1 mountain goat taken in 2009. 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 2009 draw, the latest on file, computed from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' published results (monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools). 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.
