Draw Odds


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.

License Quotas


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 595-00-B was 3500 licenses, and 3150 licenses were reserved for residents.
