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. How we compute these.

At the 2026 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $410.50 (enough points to draw) to $484.14 (lowest published odds).

Nonresident big game application fee (per species applied for) · paid at application $15 source
Conservation stamp (annual; required with any hunting license) · paid if drawn $21.50 source
Nonresident deer license (regular) · paid at application, refundable $374 source
Nonresident deer preference point · only for a point bought without applying — an unsuccessful applicant gets the point free $41 source

Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $41 (Jul 1 – Nov 2, expected) and keeps you moving toward the 2-point cut.

Point creep & years to draw

Drew out at 1 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 2 points (2022–2026): +0.2 points/yr (range +0.0 to +1.0). Projecting that pace forward:

A projection of the last five draws' median creep (capped at 2 points/yr), not a forecast. Random-pass odds still apply every year you're below the cut.

As a lower choice

2nd choice

Tags left after higher choices ÷ applicants at this choice — 0.0 tags left after higher choices. Points do not help a lower choice.

3rd choice
0%

Tags left after higher choices ÷ applicants at this choice — 0.0 tags left after higher choices. Points do not help a lower choice.

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.

Not an application service

This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
