Your odds at 0 points · 2025 draw · no nonresident tags in 2026 — showing 2025
0 first-choice applicants for 20 tags
2 first-choice applicants for 20 tags (all residencies) in 2025, so every first-choice applicant drew and 18 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, 2021–2026
The cut has been 0 points every year since 2022. Applicants per tag: 0.2:1 in 2022, 0:1 in 2026.
Insufficient history (2 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years.

Fewer applicants than tags. 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, EF003O1M drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 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.
