Every hunt, one table

AK has this draw but no odds rows here — Applications 1 November - 15 December, $5 per species per choice, nonrefundable. Permits are awarded by random lottery, so odds for a hunt are simply permits over applicants — there is no curve, no threshold and no draw-out point to trend. Per-hunt odds come from ADF&G's own Drawing Permit Hunt Supplement, which prints applications received, permits available and percent drawn for every hunt in the drawing. ⚠️ THESE HUNTS ARE NOT TIED TO A UNIT, and that is deliberate. An ADF&G hunt number carries no game management unit, and the supplement's hunt tables print the unit in a column spanning several rows — so a hunt's odds are shown here and on /draw/ak, but Alaska's unit pages do not claim them. Putting a Dall sheep hunt on the wrong unit would be worse than leaving the unit blank. What Alaska unit pages carry today is harvest — seven species and twenty seasons of it, with a residency split on both hunters and kill, which is a richer record than most states' odds.

AZ has this draw but no odds rows here — The February draw. Up to 20% of permits per hunt number reserve for the bonus point pass — issued by random selection to the highest point holders first, descending (R12-4-114(C)(2)(a),(c)) — considering first and second choices only; zero-point applications are excluded from the pass. The remainder (plus unissued pass tags) runs as the 1st-2nd choice then 3rd-4th-5th choice lottery at points+1 entries each (R12-4-107(B)), fresh random numbers per pass. Hunt numbers with 2–4 tags reserve one (114(C)(2)(b)). Arizona Game and Fish Department

CA has this draw but no odds rows here — 75% preference / 25% Draw-By-Choice for quotas of 4+; carve-outs below that (1 tag → all DBC; 2 → 1/1; 3 → 2/1) (§708.15, Digest p. 21). The DBC round runs FIRST for these species — max-point holders are in the random round too; our preference-first expected-value model differs negligibly at published field sizes and the published per-hunt quota splits are used exactly. Nonresidents may apply (individually): exactly ONE nonresident tag per species per year statewide (FGC §331(d)/§332(e)). California Department of Fish and Wildlife

CO has this draw but no odds rows here — Primary draw fills first choices from the highest point level down (#206.B "applications receiving preference points will be given priority over all applications with fewer points"); the last level in is a random subset via randomized application numbers. Hunt codes whose resident draw-out averaged 10+ points (3-year rolling average, 1-year lag) also run a hybrid draw for up to 20% of licenses: individuals only, 5+ points in the species to enter, first-choice listing required, winners lose all points, losers still earn one (#206.B; brochure p. 19). Colorado Parks & Wildlife

ID has this draw but no odds rows here — Applications May 1 – June 5; results in early July. One first choice and an optional second choice, drawn in that order. Parties up to four. Nonresidents are capped at 10% of each hunt's tags, and at one tag in hunts with ten or fewer permits — so in a small hunt a nonresident is competing for a single tag no matter how many residents apply. Second drawings for leftover tags run June 15-25 and August 5-15. Idaho Department of Fish and Game

MT has this draw but no odds rows here — Limited-entry permits only (special districts); pronghorn licenses are drawn the same way. Resident general deer/elk licenses are OTC (no deadline, purchase anywhere). The nonresident big game combination license (B-10, capped at 17,000 by MCA 87-2-505) is a separate drawing on the PREFERENCE point system — 75% by point rank / 25% to zero-point applicants (MCA 87-2-115(5)-(6)), max three $100 points — NOT bonus-squared; its pool is not in these artifacts.

ND has this draw but no odds rows here — ⚠️ AGGREGATE ONLY, AND THAT IS THE PUBLICATION. Elk and moose are the two species whose lottery summaries carry no point breakdown at all — the tables are Unit, Type, Available Licenses, Total Applicants and stop there, where deer and pronghorn publish applicants and successes at every level. So these artifacts hold one level per hunt and its odds are the hunt's realised rate. A zero point level here means "NDGF does not say", not "hunters with no points". The weighting above is still the state's real system; it simply has no distribution to act on in these two species' data. Nine seasons, 2017-2025. ⚠️ BIGHORN SHEEP IS DELIBERATELY ABSENT. North Dakota draws it STATEWIDE rather than per unit — the published table is Year, Licenses Available, Applicants and carries no unit column at all (8 licences against 21,221 applicants in 2025). There is no unit to key it to, so it is not ingested here rather than being attached to an invented one. North Dakota Game and Fish Department

NM has this draw but no odds rows here — Applications close 18 March 2026, 5 p.m. Mountain; results 22 April. Three choices, plus an optional FOURTH available only for deer and elk — and only worth listing by someone genuinely willing to accept any deer or elk licence anywhere in the state, since it is examined after every other applicant's first three. Licences are allocated on the 84/10/6 minimum split, so resident and nonresident odds come out of different quotas and averaging them would misstate both. Elk is where the split bites hardest: the quality hunts draw four-figure resident applicant pools against a nonresident allocation of a handful of tags. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish

NV has this draw but no odds rows here — The main draw. Applications in spring, results in May-June. Five choices are offered and all five are published in the bonus-point tables. Nonresidents are capped per hunt, so resident and nonresident pools are drawn against different quotas and ship separately. Nevada Department of Wildlife

OR has this draw but no odds rows here — Applications close 15 May; results by 12 June. Up to five hunt-number choices per series, with points considered on the FIRST only — the other four are drawn at random among applicants who listed them. 75% of each hunt's tags go to the first-choice applicants with the most points; the remaining 25% are drawn at random from every first-choice applicant, so a zero-point hunter always has a real chance at a quarter of the tags. Nonresidents are capped at 5% of tags in controlled deer and elk hunts and 3% in pronghorn, so the two residencies draw from different quotas. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

PA has this draw but no odds rows here — One application per year selecting up to five season/sex/zone combinations, drawn for at most one licence. 2026-27 allocation is 155 licences (80 antlered / 75 antlerless) across archery and three firearms seasons. Nonresidents are capped at 10% of the allocation (§ 143.203(d)) — one pool with a hard cap, not a separate NR draw. From 1 Jan 2026 an antlered winner is permanently ineligible for future antlered licences (once-in-a-lifetime, non-retroactive), which drains the antlered pool of its winners every year. Elk is zoned by the 14 elk hunt zones, NOT by WMU; zone 7 is closed. No odds are published. Pennsylvania Game Commission

UT has this draw but no odds rows here — Limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime. Half the permits go to the highest-point applicants first (odd counts round UP into that reserved pool, and a single-permit hunt runs entirely through the regular round); everything left is a linear bonus lottery. Empirically 154 of the 2025 hunts sat at exactly 50.0% reserved, the rest slightly higher purely from small-count rounding. Nonresidents are held to 10% of permits — stated in UDWR's manual and holding at 9.37% across all 591 LE/OIAL hunts in 2025 — but a crossover round (R657-62-18(4)(c)) moves unused permits between residency types, so 10% is a quota, not a ceiling on realized permits.

WA has this draw but no odds rows here — One pool per hunt — no nonresident quota exists, so residency does not split the draw. Applicants may list multiple hunt choices; the published statistics count selections by choice (first through fourth) plus those drawn for another hunt and those not selected, and those six dispositions sum exactly to the application total. The statistics are aggregate per hunt. See the header: WDFW publishes average winner points but not the applicant distribution, so no point-level odds exist for this state.

WY has this draw but no odds rows here — Residents are a pure random draw within each hunt area/type quota — no preference points for these species (Ch. 44 §19 species enumeration; WGFD "Understanding the Draw"). Wyoming Game and Fish Department
