Odds by point level — 2021 draw · no nonresident tags in 2026 — showing 2021
Undersubscribed: 0 of 0 tags claimed by first-choice nonresident applicants in 2021. Everyone who applied drew and the rest went to the leftover draw — the 100% reflects low demand, not a great tag. A code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

Not open to this residency that year — no tags, no applicants. Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes no per-level applicant counts for this hunt. How we compute these.
What it costs (2026 nonresident fees)
Optional, not counted above: Hunt-code exchange fee (same species, quota remaining, before season starts) $5 and License refund processing fee (most refunds) $15.
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $0 (Mar 1 – Apr 7, expected) and adds a point for next year's draw.
Next application window: opens Mar 1, closes Apr 7, 2027 (expected) · results ~May 26. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.
Point creep & years to draw
Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

How to read these numbers
Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
