Never miss a hunting application deadline. Interactive timeline, point strategy calculator, and state-by-state details for all major Western draw states.

Each dot is one verified draw deadline. Application opening dates are not part of the verified file, so this timeline plots close dates only.

Closed rows stay listed so you can see what a normal year looks like. Next-cycle dates are typically published by the agencies in the fall — we add them only once the agency posts them.
How to Use This Tool
The Visual Timeline tab plots every verified draw deadline on a month-scaled chart, one row per state. Red dots are deadlines that haven't closed yet, grey dots are draws already closed for the season, and a dashed line marks today. Every date is read from ProHunt's deadline file, which is re-checked against the state agency sites each week — nothing on this page is typed in by hand.
The Point Strategy Calculator helps you budget a year of applying. Application and point fees use the agency-published numbers when we have them; draw-time figures are rough community estimates and are labeled as such.
The State Details tab gives you expandable cards for each state listing every draw we track, its status, its fees, and a link to the agency page we verified it against.
