| Points | Your chance | Applicants | Drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 | 16% the pool average — a floor for anyone holding points, since each point adds entries | — | — |
Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points² + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. How we compute these.
What it costs (2026 nonresident fees)
Optional, not counted above: Bonus point only (no application) (July 1 - Sept 30, per species) $25.
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $20 (Jul 1 – Sep 30, expected) and adds a point for next year's draw.
Next application window: opens Jun 30, closes Jul 22, 2027 (expected) · results ~August 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.
