Resident outlook for 2027

If first-choice demand keeps its 2023 to 2026 trend (-427 applicants a year), about 2,278 residents would apply in 2027; with the same number of first-choice licenses, overall first-choice odds would be about 79%. Average bonus points among first-choice applicants are trending to about 1.3 (-0.05 a year), a measure of point creep in a weighted draw. Confidence: low.

Landowner preference (residents, 2026): 16 first-choice applicants, 16 drawn.

Nonresident odds by bonus point (2026 drawing)

Share of first-choice nonresident applicants at each bonus-point level who drew, from FWP's 2026 bonus point report. Each applicant gets one chance plus their points squared, so the draw favors high point holders without a hard cutoff. How Montana bonus points work.
