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	400	639	62.6%
2024	400	567	70.5%
2025	400	758	52.8%
2026	400	607	65.9%

Resident outlook for 2027

Resident odds moved +1.1 percentage points a year on average from 2023 to 2026. If quota and demand follow that line, 2027 odds land near 67%.

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.)
< 9	7	100.0%	100.0%
8	23	100.0%	100.0%
< 8	19	79.0%	80.5%
<= 7	201	0.0%	7.3%

Forecast for 2027: About 8 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 9 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged +0.72 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	7	100.0%	100.0%
< 6	6	100.0%	100.0%
5	6	100.0%	100.0%
< 5	9	100.0%	100.0%
4	8	25.0%	40.3%
< 4	44	0.0%	20.4%

Forecast for 2027: About 4 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 5 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged -0.16 points a year (2023 to 2026). Confidence: medium.
