Odds by point level — 2024 draw
Prior-draw probability for a first-choice resident applicant. 16 tags. Source: PGC news release: FINAL 2024-25....

| 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.
What it costs (2025 resident fees)
Next application window: opens May 1, closes Jul 12, 2027 (expected) · results ~July 25. 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.
