Wyoming Deer 87-2

Antlered mule deer three (3) points or less on either antler or any white-tailed deer in Hunt Area 87 — Ferris, any legal weapon, Oct 15–31, 2026. 71% public land, mostly BLM. Type 2.

New for 2026

The 2026 draw is the first on record for 87-2: Wyoming Game and Fish Department did not offer this hunt code in earlier years, so the year-by-year table has one row and there is no point-creep trend to project yet. The odds shown are that one draw's actual results, not an estimate.

Insufficient history (1 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years.

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, 87-2 drew no one in 2026, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2026 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.
