Odds by point level — 2025 draw

Prior-draw probability for a first-choice nonresident applicant. 8 tags. Source: 2026-2027 Drawn Hunt Catalog · section UE-National-Refuge-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.

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.
