Montana Pronghorn Draw FAQ
When do Montana pronghorn applications open and close?
Applications open March 1 and close June 1 each year. Results post June 15. Mark those dates—they're firm for both residents and nonresidents.
What are the tag fees for nonresidents?
Regular pronghorn tags cost $100, antlerless tags $200. Add a $5 application fee to either. Residents pay less: $7 for regular tags and $14 for antlerless.
How does Montana's pronghorn bonus-point draw work?
Montana uses a bonus-point system where extra points improve your odds, but a zero-point applicant can still draw. Nonresidents get 10% of available tags. The real leverage comes from picking units where zero-point hunters actually draw—some units at 100.0%, others well below 25.0%.
What are my realistic odds as a zero-point nonresident?
It depends entirely on the unit. Unit 319 drew zero-point applicants at 100.0%, while Unit 360 drew at 18.9%. Unit 650 and 690 fell between at 35.7% and 33.3%. Check the unit-by-unit breakdown to target hunts where your odds align with your expectations.
