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).

Draw year	Resident quota	1st-choice applicants	Simple odds
2023	300	322	93.2%
2024	298	299	99.7%
2025	379	339	100.0%
2026	379	323	100.0%

Resident outlook for 2027

Resident odds moved +2.3 percentage points a year on average from 2023 to 2026. If quota and demand follow that line, 2027 odds land near 100%.

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.

Regular license

Your points	1st-choice applicants	Preference draw odds (WGFD)	With random draw added (est.)
7	7	100.0%	100.0%
6	7	100.0%	100.0%
< 6	3	100.0%	100.0%
5	9	100.0%	100.0%
< 5	4	100.0%	100.0%
4	46	30.4%	34.6%
< 4	202	0.0%	6.0%

Forecast for 2027: About 5 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 6 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged +0.61 points a year (2023 to 2026). Confidence: medium.

Special license (higher fee, separate quota)

Your points	1st-choice applicants	Preference draw odds (WGFD)	With random draw added (est.)
6	1	100.0%	100.0%
4	2	100.0%	100.0%
3	1	100.0%	100.0%
2	5	100.0%	100.0%
1	6	100.0%	100.0%
0	17	88.2%	100.0%

Forecast for 2027: The trend points to a hunt that draws without points next year if quota and demand hold.
