Alaska Dall Sheep Draw Results, 2025

Every Dall sheep drawing hunt from the 2025 ADF&G drawing: applications, permits and percent drawn, hunt by hunt. These are counts of applications, not people. Alaska has no points, so each application in a hunt has the same chance.

How to read this

  • Applications, not applicants. A hunter can send up to six applications per species and can apply for the same hunt more than once, so “1 in 228” means 1 permit per 228 applications.
  • Random lottery, no points. Each application gets a random draw number; the lowest numbers win, up to the permit count. A party application shares one number.
  • Permits may differ from advertised. ADF&G notes the permits issued can differ from the number listed in the supplement.
  • Hunt numbers change. Some 2026-27 hunts are new and have no 2025 history. Check the current supplement for each number.

Hunts labeled for nonresidents

The results table does not split residents and nonresidents. The hunts below carry a nonresident label (guided, or with a resident relative) in the 2026-27 supplement, so we matched them to their 2025 results. That label is from 2026-27; the 2025 class for a hunt may have differed.

Dall sheep hunts labeled nonresident in the 2026-27 supplement, with 2025 results. Residency class inferred from 2026-27 labels.

Taken together, these 14 hunts had 3,398 applications for 24 permits in 2025, about 1 in 142 applications. This is context only, not an official nonresident rate, and it does not cover new 2026-27 nonresident hunts with no history.

Nonresident rules in brief

Nonresidents hunting Dall sheep need an Alaska-licensed guide or a resident relative 19 or older within the second degree of kindred. Most guided nonresident sheep hunts also need a signed guide-client contract before you apply. More on the Alaska draw hub.

Frequently asked questions

What are the odds of drawing a Dall sheep permit in Alaska?

It depends on the hunt number. In the 2025 drawing, Dall sheep hunts ranged from under 1% drawn to more than 10% drawn, per ADF&G. Look up the exact hunt in the table on this page.

Are these odds per person?

No. ADF&G reports applications. One hunter can send up to six applications per species, including more than one for the same hunt, so the number of people is lower than the number of applications.

Is there a single nonresident Dall sheep odds number?

No. The ADF&G results table has no residency column, so there is no official statewide nonresident figure. Odds vary hunt by hunt.

Does Alaska use preference points for sheep?

No. Alaska drawing permits are a pure random lottery with no preference or bonus points, so every application in a hunt has the same chance.

When is the next Alaska draw application window?

Nov 1, 2026 at 8 a.m. to Dec 15, 2026 at 5 p.m. AKST, online only, per ADF&G.
