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.
