Utah desert bighorn sheep hunt DS6612

Desert Bighorn Sheep - Zion - Any Legal Weapon. What the draw actually did at each bonus point level, from 2016 to 2021. Every figure comes from a Division of Wildlife Resources report linked at the foot of this page.

What the 2021 draw did

Utah issued 4 permits on hunt DS6612 in 2021, against 1,055 eligible applicants. The lowest bonus level at which anyone drew was 8; the division reported levels up to 25.

Reported in 6 of the division's published years, 2016 to 2021.

Draw results by point level

Every figure here counts first-choice applications only. That is the division's own statement on the page it publishes these reports from: they "only reflect hunters' first-choice selections." Utah runs five choices and publishes odds for none of the other four, because they are affected by residency, youth status, group applications, Dedicated Hunter selections and weapon type. So a hunt you would rank second or lower is not described by anything below.

Permits are drawn in two passes: a point-weighted pass and a random pass, and they sum to the total. Utah publishes no quota, so there is no permits-available figure to show — only permits issued. A dash in the odds column is the division's ownN/A, meaning no permits were issued at that level; it is an absent measurement, not zero odds. Point levels where nobody applied and nothing was drawn are omitted — the division prints every level for every hunt, and roughly three quarters of them are empty.

Success is permits issued divided by eligible applicants at that level. The division also prints a 1 in N ratio, rounded to one decimal — at these small numbers that rounding turns a 95% draw into 1 in 1.0, so the figure here is that quotient computed exactly rather than read back off the ratio. It describes that year's draw and nothing beyond it.
