AI Scout Preview

MT 401 — Tactical Analysis Hunt Character MT 401 is a limited-entry moose hunt in Montana. This is an OIAL (once-in-a-lifetime) species — moose tags are extremely scarce, and successful applicants typically invest years building preference before drawing. The unit draws a modest nonresident applicant pool relative to other premium moose units nationwide. Nonresidents should expect a multi-year point investment before a tag becomes realistic. Residents face less competition but still participate in a preference-point system. Application deadlines and fee structures are published annually — confirm current schedules on the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks website or HuntPilot before..
