About

A unit planner that shows its numbers

Saddleglass started as one hunter's spreadsheet for picking a Montana district without paying for a subscription. It pulls every harvest report and regulation the state agencies already publish, computes success rates the same way for every unit, and puts them on a map you can filter. That is the whole idea.

Why it is free

The data is public. Montana FWP, Idaho IDFG, Colorado CPW, and Wyoming WGFD publish it every year. Charging for a nicer view of it never sat right. The site runs on light display advertising, which covers hosting and not much else.

What it is not

• Not a guide or outfitting service. It will not tell you where the elk are on opening morning.
• Not affiliated with Montana FWP, Idaho IDFG, Colorado CPW, Wyoming WGFD, or any state agency. Always confirm season dates and license rules in the current regulations before you buy or apply.
• Not a draw-odds service. It shows what happened to hunters who were already in the field, not your chance of getting a tag.

How the numbers are built

Every rate is harvest divided by hunters afield, straight from the state report for that year, at the scope shown in the column header. When a state does not publish a figure, the cell says so. The Data page lists every source with a link.
