Who Chance Applied Drew
Everyone 100% — —

Fewer applicants than tags. A dash means Wyoming Game and Fish Department did not publish a count for that level. As a lower choice, 121-8 drew no one in 2026, so lower-choice odds are left out.

All of Hunt Area 121 · white-tailed deer 330 169 51%

Across every license type in Hunt Area 121, Wyoming Game and Fish Department counted 330 hunters and 169 white-tailed deer taken in 2025, and 51% of them took a deer. The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Wyoming's figures are estimates from a voluntary post-season survey of license holders, extrapolated to every license issued — not a count of animals checked in.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Wyoming Game and Fish Department's published results (fewer applicants than tags). 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.
