Reading the table
Point creep is a trend, not a guarantee.
A unit with +4 point creep across the available window has gotten 4 points harder to draw across that span — but a single year of low applicants or a quota bump can reverse it. The chart shows the actual recorded years; gaps are gaps. Numbers here come straight from Montana F&W and aren't smoothed or estimated.
Draw it. Then hunt it.
Montana elk is a long-points hunt for a lot of units. Once you have the tag, Bield: Hunt tells you which stand to sit and what conditions are paying off — based on your own sits.
