What these columns mean
- Your odds —
- the share of applicants at your point level who drew this tag in the 2026 draw. Not a forecast: quotas and demand move every year.
- The badge —
- plain language for that number. Likely draw 75% or better · Real chance 40%+ · Long shot 15%+ · Point builder below that, so you are applying mainly to bank a point · Undersubscribed means fewer first-choice applicants than tags, so everyone who applied drew.
- Points needed —
- the lowest point total that still got a tag in the 2026 draw, and how that cut has moved since the earliest draw we hold.
- Tags / applicants —
- tags on offer and first-choice applicants for them, as the agency published them. Under five tags we print counts instead of a percentage, because one applicant either way swings it.

What the agency says about the area
There are three antelope management units for firearm and muzzleloader permits, and one management unit for archery permits. A unit number is printed on each permit to designate legal hunting boundaries for that permit. Antelope unit 2 is the same ground as deer management unit 2 ("Smoky Hill") in KDWP's own GIS: the two polygons overlap on 100.0% of the antelope unit and their areas differ by 0.000%.
