Monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools. A dash means Utah Division of Wildlife Resources did not publish a count for that level. Utah runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, EB3001 drew no one in 2022, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2022 draw, the latest on file, computed from Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' published results (monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
