Your odds at 0 points · 2025 draw · no nonresident tags in 2026 — showing 2025
0 first-choice applicants for 20 tags
11 first-choice applicants for 20 tags (all residencies) in 2025, so every first-choice applicant drew and 9 tags went to the leftover draw. The 100% reflects low demand that year, and a code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

Points Needed to Draw
No cut was published in enough years to chart one.
Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

Odds by Point Level · 2025 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | — same at every level | — | — |
Not open to this residency that year — no tags, no applicants. Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes no per-level applicant counts for this hunt. Colorado runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, DF044O1M drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2024
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of GMU 44 | 299 | 170 | 57% |
Across every license type in GMU 44, Colorado Parks and Wildlife counted 299 hunters and 170 deer taken in 2024, and 57% of them took a deer. Colorado's figures come from CPW's post-season hunter survey. CPW's 2025 report dropped the per-GMU table in favour of hunt-code rows, so the newest year shown here is 2024.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Colorado Parks and Wildlife's published results (not open to this residency that year — no tags, no applicants). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
