nrOddsPct = regular nonresident first-choice successful ÷ first-choice applicants per district (MT FWP Drawing Statistics Report).Huntable-land % is each FWP hunting-district boundary intersected with USGS PAD-US huntable public land (national forest, BLM, state game lands & state forest) in an equal-area projection. Deer & elk general licenses are largely over-the-counter; these are the limited/special permit draws plus the once-in-a-lifetime species.
