Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

Fewer applicants than tags. Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes no per-level applicant counts for this hunt. As a lower choice, DF083W3R drew no one in 2021, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2024
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of GMU 83 | 101 | 75 | 75% |
Across every license type in GMU 83, Colorado Parks and Wildlife counted 101 hunters and 75 deer taken in 2024, and 75% 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 2021 draw, the latest on file, computed from Colorado Parks and Wildlife's published results (fewer applicants than tags). 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.
