Odds by point level — 2026 draw
Prior-draw probability for a first-choice nonresident applicant. 5 tags. Source: WDFW Hunt Planner 'Regulation'... · LicenseYear=2026;PermitHuntNumber=2407.
| 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.
What it costs (2026 nonresident fees)
Next application window: opens Apr 20, closes May 27, 2027 (expected) · results ~June 30. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.
Point creep & years to draw
Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

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.

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.
