Hunting Statistics for 3029

With all things equal, draw odds is the percent chance you'll draw this tag as your first choice hunt. Depending on the state draw these odds represnt:

• For preference point only states (i.e. Colorado) or bonus point states (i.e. Montana) these stats are an average of resident and nonresident chances regardless of preference points or bonus points. Ulitmately you'll want to scroll down and refer to preference points or bonus point odds in these states.
• For states with a random draw only (i.e. ID) or preference point + random draw (i.e. WY) these stats represent the random draw portion. So study them closely to see your odds of drawing.

Last year the average draw odds for hunt 3029 was 14.91%.

Quotas are the number of limited licenses up for grabs. Quotas are only set for limited license hunts. As you probably guessed, there are often different quotas for residents and nonresidents. Obviously, over-the-counter licenses are not shown in this graph.

Often state agencies do not report actual resident/nonresident quota breakdowns. They'll say that they will be determined at the time of the draw. In those cases, we'll try to calculate an estimated quota based on actual historical draw results.

Last year the total quota for hunt 3029 was 100 licenses, and 100 licenses were reserved for residents.

Was the quota met in the draw, or is there a surplus of leftover tags? In popular units, there's rarely any surplus. It's worthy of note to mention that just because there may be a surplus, that doesn't mean that those licenses will be available to purchase as a leftover license.

Last year, there were 100 tags drawn, and there were 0 leftover tags (after the draw) available for hunt 3029.

How much competition do you have? Let's face it, in many competitive units when you don't get your first choice, you're not getting a tag.

In the past year, here's the breakdown of the number of points that applicants had prior to applying for hunt 22S_E_1_M_ALL_G_LL. In addition to bonus point totals, you can see the draw odds for applicants with a specific number of bonus points. Use this to help increase your odds of drawing! Above you'll see the minimum points required needed to draw in the bonus point only round and the odds based on residency. The state of Arizona only started providing bonus point data split out by resident and nonresidents in 2021.

In some very popular units in states where preference points are utilized, there's a problem we call point creep. And unless you've already collected a bunch of points in that state, you're probably best to bypass these hunts. It can be quite nasty.

A Bonus Point is an accumulated credit (or point) that authorizes the Department to issue a Big Game Drawing applicant additional computer-generated random numbers during a draw. The bonus point system grants an applicant one random number entry for each bonus point that has been accumulated into the drawing for that species.
