Resident odds (2026 draw)

Wyoming residents draw pronghorn licenses by random draw; preference points do not apply to residents for this species, so every resident applicant has the same chance. Simple odds are quota divided by first-choice applicants (second and third choices only pick up what is left).

Resident outlook for 2027

Resident odds moved -0.2 percentage points a year on average from 2023 to 2026. If quota and demand follow that line, 2027 odds land near 32%.

Nonresident odds by preference point (2026 draw)

For nonresidents WGFD sets aside most licenses for a preference-point draw and the rest for a random draw that also takes everyone who missed in the point draw. The first odds column is WGFD's published first-choice success rate at each level; the second adds our simple random-draw estimate (random quota over first-choice random applicants). Rows marked < are party applications whose averaged points fall between two levels.

Forecast for 2027: About 9 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 10 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged +0.50 points a year (2023 to 2026). Confidence: medium.
