Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Montana Deer Unit 515-00?
The most recent published odds are 27.3% for resident applicants in 2025 — 297 applicants for 81 tags on the Rifle B License either sex hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 25% (10 tags, 40 applicants). Montana publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for Montana Deer Unit 515-00?
We won't guess. The Montana report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.
Is the competition increasing for Montana Deer Unit 515-00?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle B License either sex hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 23.2% in 2022 and 27.3% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
