How to read this
Odds are WGFD’s published first-choice success rate in the nonresident regular preference-point draw at your exact point level. The last column adds our simple estimate of the random draw, which also takes everyone who missed in the point draw. Where nobody held your exact count and every applicant on both sides of it drew, we show 100% (marked “above the cut”). Special licenses have their own pool: see each hunt page.
Odds are historical, not a promise
Every number here is what happened in one past draw. Applicant counts, quotas and point creep change every year, so your odds next year can be higher or lower. Check the agency’s regulations before you apply. How this tool works.
