Utah elk with 8 preference points

What applicants holding exactly 8 preference points actually drew, across every Utah elk hunt that reported at this level. Ranked by observed success, best first. This is a record of past draws, not a prediction of the next.

Preference points only. Utah's limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime draws use bonus points, which are weighted lottery tickets rather than places in a queue. There is no honest "what does 8 bonus points get you" answer, so this page does not attempt one. Those hunts are on the elk index with their full ladders.

What 8 points did

31 Utah elk hunts reported applicants holding exactly 8 preference points, covering 53 applicants in total. Everyone holding this many points drew.

The figures below come from 6 different years, 2019 to 2025, because a hunt reports at this level only in the years somebody held these points and applied for it. Each row says which year it is. Nothing here is averaged across years, and nothing is carried forward into a year the division has not published.

31 hunts at this 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.

The most recent year each hunt reported at this level, which is not the same year for every row — the year is shown. A dash is the division's own N/A: no permits were issued at this level, which is an absent measurement rather than zero odds.
