How many points does it take to draw that elk or deer tag, and what are your odds this year? Pick a state, species, your residency and how many points you have. You’ll see how that state’s draw works and last year’s official results for every limited elk and deer hunt: how many people applied at each point level and how many drew.

Enter your points and the tool lists the hunts you’d likely draw, best hunts first. Click any hunt to see the full breakdown, your chance at your point level, and your chance of drawing within five years if next year looks like last year. New to points?

Where these numbers come from

Every number comes from the state wildlife agencies’ own published draw results: the 2026 draws for most states, and Nevada’s 2025 main draw (its newest published report). Each state reports its draw a little differently, so the note above each table says exactly what is counted. A few states don’t publish who drew at each point level. For those, we estimate it from each hunt’s quotas and say so.

Past results don’t guarantee future odds. Quotas change, point creep moves the line, and hunt codes are renumbered. Always confirm in the current regulations before you apply. Washington hasn’t published hunt-by-hunt results since 2021, so it shows general guidance instead.
