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 2022 odds, expected cost per hunt-year ranges from $362.50 (enough points to draw) to $377.50 (lowest published odds).
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $31 (Jul 1 – Nov 2, expected) and keeps you moving toward the 6-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
Insufficient history (2 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years.

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.
