Wyoming Elk — Unit 040

Wyoming Elk Unit 040 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. Wyoming's report publishes no point thresholds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Wyoming Elk Unit 040?
The most recent published odds are 36.4% for resident applicants in 2026 — 404 applicants for 147 tags on the Rifle General Type 1 either sex hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 2.3% (3 tags, 131 applicants). Wyoming publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for Wyoming Elk Unit 040?
We won't guess. The Wyoming report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.
Is the competition increasing for Wyoming Elk Unit 040?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle General Type 1 either sex hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 45.7% in 2024 and 36.4% in 2026. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
