Monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools. A dash means North Dakota Game and Fish Department did not publish a count for that level. How we compute these.
What it costs (2026 resident fees)
At the 2026 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $59.37 (enough points to draw) to $6,305.00 (lowest published odds).
Next application window: closes Aug 5, 2027 (expected). 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.
