Prior-draw probability for a first-choice nonresident applicant. 5 tags. Source: WDFW Hunt Planner 'Regulation'... · LicenseYear=2026;PermitHuntNumber=2272.

Points	Your chance	Applicants	Drawn
0–10	— the pool average — a floor for anyone holding points, since each point adds entries	—	—

The agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries ((points + 1)²), 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.
