Odds by point level — 2025 draw

Prior-draw probability for a first-choice resident applicant. 2 tags. Source: 2025-26 Pennsylvania Hunting &... · p. 55.

Points Your chance Applicants Drawn
0–10 the pool average — a floor for anyone holding points, since each point adds entries

The agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level. Pennsylvania Game Commission publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. How we compute these.

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.

Not an application service

This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
