Odds by Point Level · 2024 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | <1% (small sample) 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, 2069/2024 drew no one in 2024, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2024 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. How we compute these.
