$25 a year buys a 1-in-8 chance at 0 points at the 2026 odds, so you'd expect to draw within about 8 years — about $575 in all, with the $400 you pay the year you draw.

Habitat Stamp (18+, once per license year, required to apply) · paid at application $25 source
Preference point (optional; raised from $10) · only for a point bought without applying — an unsuccessful applicant gets the point free $20 source
NR deer license, one-tag types 01/02/11 (any deer / any buck / any whitetail) - WR, BH, Refuge · paid if drawn $375 source

Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $20 (Sep 15 – Dec 15, expected) and adds a point for next year's draw.

Next application window: opens May 27, closes Jun 23, 2027 (expected) · results ~July 2. 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. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Under five tags the percentage is flagged: one applicant either way swings it. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.

Not an application service

Draw rules, quotas, fees and deadlines are set by each agency and change by commission action. Check the agency's site and apply there; we don't take applications.
