Resident odds (2026 draw)

Wyoming residents draw pronghorn licenses by random draw; preference points do not apply to residents for this species, so every resident applicant has the same chance. Simple odds are quota divided by first-choice applicants (second and third choices only pick up what is left).

Draw year	Resident quota	1st-choice applicants	Simple odds
2023	100	66	100.0%
2024	119	80	100.0%
2025	119	97	100.0%
2026	138	102	100.0%

Resident outlook for 2027

Resident odds moved +0.0 percentage points a year on average from 2023 to 2026. If quota and demand follow that line, 2027 odds land near 100%.

Nonresident odds by preference point (2026 draw)

For nonresidents WGFD sets aside most licenses for a preference-point draw and the rest for a random draw that also takes everyone who missed in the point draw. The first odds column is WGFD's published first-choice success rate at each level; the second adds our simple random-draw estimate (random quota over first-choice random applicants). Rows marked < are party applications whose averaged points fall between two levels.

Regular license

Your points	1st-choice applicants	Preference draw odds (WGFD)	With random draw added (est.)
7	1	100.0%	100.0%
< 7	4	100.0%	100.0%
6	4	100.0%	100.0%
< 6	3	100.0%	100.0%
5	23	17.4%	20.1%
< 5	132	0.0%	3.3%

Forecast for 2027: About 6 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 7 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged +0.90 points a year (2023 to 2026). Confidence: medium.

Special license (higher fee, separate quota)

Your points	1st-choice applicants	Preference draw odds (WGFD)	With random draw added (est.)
< 4	12	91.7%	93.9%
<= 3	11	0.0%	27.3%

Forecast for 2027: About 3 preference points is where the draw is likely to cut off next year, so applicants at 4 or more are likely to draw on first choice. Point creep has averaged +0.42 points a year (2023 to 2026). Confidence: medium.

History

Draw year	NR regular cut	NR special cut	NR random odds (regular)
2023	< 3 pts (38% drew at that level)	2 pts (67% drew at that level)	1.7%
2024	< 4 pts (50% drew at that level)	every applicant drew	3.1%
2025	4 pts (10% drew at that level)	< 3 pts (50% drew at that level)	2.8%
