The cut has risen one point a year since 2021. Applicants per tag: 94:1 in 2021, 85:1 in 2022.
Insufficient history (2 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years.
What It Costs · 2026 NR Fees
The $15 nonresident big game application fee (per species applied for) is not refunded. Drawing adds the $21.50 conservation stamp (annual; required with any hunting license). The $374 nonresident deer license (regular) is refunded if you miss. A nonresident deer preference point is $41, bought separately.

Points pass + random pass, from published pools. A dash means Wyoming Game and Fish Department did not publish a count for that level: it prints exact counts around the cut and folds the rest into a band. Wyoming runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, 130-1 drew no one in 2022, so lower-choice odds are left out.

Across every license type in Hunt Area 130, Wyoming Game and Fish Department counted 163 hunters and 32 mule deer taken in 2025, and 20% 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 2022 draw, the latest on file, computed from Wyoming Game and Fish Department's published results (points pass + random pass, from published 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.
