Pick your state, species and points. You'll land on the state's own draw results for every hunt area, sorted by what people holding your points drew, with the report each number came from linked beside it.
Or start from the state
- Wyoming — 352 hunt areas, 7 species, 2021–2026. Preference points, but a quarter of every area's licences go to a random draw that ignores them.
- Utah — 1,303 hunts, 8 species, 2016–2025. Preference points on general hunts; bonus points on limited-entry, which are lottery tickets rather than a queue.
- Montana — 1,633 hunts, 7 species, 2006–2026. Bonus points are squared into extra chances, so no point level guarantees a licence.
- New Mexico — 1,339 hunts, 10 species, 2019–2026. No points. What matters is how many people put the hunt first and how many of them drew.
- Idaho — 974 controlled hunts, 8 species, 1998–2026. No points. Every hunt is a straight random drawing.
- Arizona — 556 hunts, 5 species, 2024–2026. Bonus points buy extra random numbers; only the first pass goes out in point order.

No points yet?
You are not wasting your money. In Wyoming a quarter of the licences in every hunt area are drawn at random, whatever your point total, and the tables show what zero points drew, area by area. Idaho and New Mexico run no points at all, so a first-year applicant stands where everyone else does.
Every figure on this site was copied from a state report, and the report is linked beside it with the date it was published and the date we read it. Nothing is predicted or simulated: where a state doesn't publish the breakdown, the page says so instead of estimating. The site is free, runs on advertising, and is edited by Justin Adams. If a number is wrong, tell us and it gets fixed on the page with a note saying what changed.
