Notes from TagCanyon
214 hunters put this code first for 610 licenses in 2026, about 0.4 first-choice applications per license. For residents, the points-to-draw index held steady from 2025 to 2026. For nonresidents, the points-to-draw index held steady from 2025 to 2026. Nonresidents can receive at most 100% of the licenses in this code, so residents compete for the rest.
