How It Hunted, 2024

WhoHuntersHarvestSuccess
All of Hunting District 291 — 1 —

Across every license type in Hunting District 291, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks counted 1 pronghorn taken in 2024 (hunter counts not published). 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. Source: Montana FWP 2024 Antelope Harvest Estimates; Montana FWP 2023 Antelope Harvest Estimates.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2026 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. How we compute these.
