Hunting Statistics for 036-4

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 036-4 was 100.0%.

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 036-4 was 342 licenses, and 277 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 192 tags drawn, and there were 150 leftover tags (after the draw) available for hunt 036-4.

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.

Last year, there were 32 hunters who put hunt 036-4 as their first choice.

In the past year, here's the breakdown of the number of points that applicants had prior to applying for hunt 036-4.

There is no mathematical difference in your chances of drawing whether your application is received during the first day of the application period or the last. However, applying early does allow the G&F time to check your application and return it to you or call you in the event you made an error. If you applied early, you will still have time to reapply with a correct application before the deadline date. Every year there are hunters who wait until the last minute, make a mistake and miss the drawing because there is not time to reapply.
