Short version

If you apply in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana or Texas and want point-level odds, TagCanyon is free. If you hunt many states or want maps, unit profiles, harvest data or someone to apply for you, the paid tools do more. Several people use both.

Where the paid tools do more

  • States: GOHUNT, onX Elite and BaseMap all list maps for every state, and GOHUNT lists unit profiles for every Western hunt unit. TagCanyon covers four states.
  • Maps and scouting: land ownership, offline and 3D maps are core to onX, BaseMap and GOHUNT. TagCanyon has no maps.
  • Research beyond odds: harvest trends, unit profiles, weather, magazines and expert articles.
  • People: GOHUNT Insider+ and Huntin’ Fool Pro+ list consultations and an application service.

What TagCanyon does

  • Free, no account, no app: every hunt page and the What can I draw with my points? tool.
  • Resident and nonresident odds at each point level, straight from CPW, WGFD, FWP and TPWD reports, with the source cited on each page.
  • A labeled next-year point-creep estimate (method) and one deadline email before each draw closes.
