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.
What it costs (2026 nonresident fees)
At the 2026 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $410.50 (enough points to draw) to $468.69 (lowest published odds).
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $41 (Jul 1 – Nov 2, expected) and keeps you moving toward the 3-point cut.
Next application window: opens Jan 2, closes Jun 1, 2027 (expected) · results ~June 18. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.
Point creep & years to draw
Drew out at 2 → 2 → 2 → 2 → 3 points (2022–2026): +0.2 points/yr (range +0.0 to +0.5). Projecting that pace forward:
| Your points now | Years until a sure thing |
|---|---|
| 0 | 4 yrs (3–6) |
| 1 | 3 yrs (2–4) |
| 2 | 2 yrs (1–2) |
| 3 | now |
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
Tags left after higher choices ÷ applicants at this choice — 0.0 tags left after higher choices. Points do not help a lower choice.

Year by year
The regular draw for nonresidents, one row per year. Wyoming runs a second, random pass after the points pass; it is shown beside the year it belongs to.

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.
