At the 2026 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $736 (enough points to draw) to $99,848.98 (lowest published odds).

Nonresident big game application fee, per species or point applied for (plus 2.2% card processing fee) · paid at application $21 source
Nonresident 365-day hunting license, age 18+ (required to apply; a drawn nonresident big game permit also acts as a 1-year fishing license) · paid at application $144 or $190 source
Bonus or preference point only (same as the application fee; no permit fee) · only for a point bought without applying — an unsuccessful applicant gets the point free $21 source
Nonresident limited-entry buck pronghorn permit · paid if drawn $571 source

Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $21 (Mar 19 – Jun 23, expected) and keeps you moving toward the 16-point cut.

Next application window: opens Mar 19, closes Apr 23, 2027 (expected) · results ~May 31. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.

Point creep & years to draw

Drew out at 14 → 13 → 15 → 16 → 16 points (2022–2026): +0.5 points/yr (range +0.0 to +2.0). Projecting that pace forward:

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.
