Across Montana's 80 moose units with published draw data, odds range widely. The most sought-after limited-entry units can take years of preference points to pull, while others draw closer to every year. That split is the heart of a Montana moose strategy: bank points for a low-odds trophy tag, or hunt a high-odds unit this season.
Draw odds are the ratio of tags available to applicants, so a low number means heavy competition, not a bad hunt. Read them next to the 1st-choice applicants and points required before you commit. Every figure below comes from official Montana wildlife-agency draw results; the table sorts hardest-draw first.
A note on Montana applicant counts. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes only the applicants who ranked each hunt first, so that is the figure below and the denominator of the odds beside it. Hunters who listed a unit as a second or later choice can and do draw these tags, so the real field competing for them is larger than the number shown. There is no total-applicant figure in the source to publish instead.
What are the draw odds for Montana moose?
Across the 80 Montana moose units with published draw data, average draw odds are 1.4% for the 2026 season. Odds vary widely by unit, so review each unit's 1st-choice applicants and tags available before applying. Figures come from official Montana wildlife-agency draw results. This state publishes only the applicants who ranked the hunt first, so the real pool competing for these tags is larger.
How many people apply for Montana moose tags?
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks publishes only first-choice applicants — the hunters who ranked a hunt as their top pick — so that is the applicant figure on this page, and it is the denominator of the draw odds beside it. Hunters who listed a unit as a second or later choice also draw these tags, so the real field is larger than the number shown. Montana publishes no total-applicant figure for us to show instead. Some Montana tags also go through landowner preference before the regular draw, so a hunt can show 0% odds here even though its tag was issued — it went to the landowner pool rather than a first-choice applicant.
Which Montana moose unit is the hardest to draw?
Unit 700-20 is among the hardest Montana moose draws, at roughly 0.2% odds in 2026. Low-odds units typically produce higher-quality animals but take years of points to draw.
What is the easiest Montana moose unit to draw?
Unit 126-50 has among the best Montana moose draw odds, around 2.8% in 2026. Higher-odds units are good options for hunters who want to hunt sooner rather than bank points for a premium tag.
