Montana Deer draw FAQ
How are these Montana deer draw odds calculated?
Every number comes straight from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks's official 2026 drawing statistics: at each bonus point level we divide successful first-choice applicants by total first-choice applicants. Nothing is modeled or estimated unless marked. What you see is what actually happened in the 2026 draw.
How many deer hunts can I draw with 0 points?
In the 2026 draw, 24 Montana deer hunt codes drew at 100% for residents with 0 points, and 21 drew at 100% for nonresidents with 0 points. Set the points stepper to 0 and sort by odds to explore them.
How does the Montana deer draw work?
Montana uses a bonus point system: your accumulated points are squared and added to one base chance (points² + 1) as entries in a random draw, so more points sharply improve your odds but never guarantee a tag — even a max-point applicant can miss, and a zero-point applicant can hit. The odds here are the actual 2026 draw results at each bonus-point level. Deer and elk permit applications typically close June 1; moose, sheep, and goat May 1. Verify at fwp.mt.gov.
