Notes from TagCanyon
105 hunters put this code first for 50 licenses in 2026, about 2.1 first-choice applications per license. For residents, the points-to-draw index rose by about 1.5 points from 2023 to 2026. Nonresidents can receive at most 25% of the licenses in this code, so residents compete for the rest.
