Odds by point level — 2025 draw
Prior-draw probability for a first-choice nonresident applicant. 24 tags. Source: 2026-2027 Drawn Hunt Catalog · section JD-Spring-Turkey.
| Points | Your chance | Applicants | Drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 | 1% the pool average — a floor for anyone holding points, since each point adds entries | — | — |
Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points³ + 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 (2026 nonresident fees)
Optional, not counted above: Upland Game Bird Endorsement (Item 167) - required to hunt wild turkey (not usable with the Non-resident Special 5-Day license) $7.

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.

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.
