Odds by Point Level · 2025 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | 14% pool average: a floor with points | — | — |
Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points², counting the application you buy now), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. As a lower choice, 1442 drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

Across every license type in GMU 666, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife counted 276 deer taken in 2025 (hunter counts not published). The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Washington's figures come from mandatory hunter reports. WDFW credits a multi-GMU special-permit hunt's harvest to every GMU it spans rather than splitting it, so unit totals add up to more than the statewide total.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife's published results (unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish 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.
