Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Wyoming Mule Deer Unit 165?

The most recent published odds are 36.7% for resident applicants in 2026 — 98 applicants for 36 tags on the Rifle General Type 1 antlered hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 4.2% (1 tag, 24 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 Mule Deer Unit 165?

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 Mule Deer Unit 165?

Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle General Type 1 antlered hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 27.3% in 2024 and 36.7% in 2026. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
