Texas Draw Odds

Texas has no unit-based big-game draw - TPWD's Drawn Hunts program raffles Special Permits for category-based hunts (Gun Deer, Archery Deer, Gun Mule Deer, Pronghorn, Spring Turkey, and the famous Guided Bighorn Sheep package) on WMAs, state parks, refuges and leased private land, and nonresidents apply on exactly the same terms as Texans: same $3 application fee ($10 for private-land and guided packages), one common pool, no residency quota. Selection is a random draw weighted by Loyalty Points - you earn one point per category per season you apply, your points are cubed for the drawing, and they reset to zero once you win in that category. Nothing is fronted beyond the application fee: winners pay an $80 (2-3 day) or $130 (4-5 day) permit fee only if drawn, and pronghorn, private-lands and guided packages have no permit fee at all. Applications open July 1 with rolling category deadlines Aug 1 - Nov 1 (archery deer and pronghorn Aug 15, gun deer Sep 15, gun mule deer Oct 1, turkey Nov 1); drawings run the next business day.

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.
