2015 Draw Odds

Recommended Posts

Flatlander,

Get the archery odds figured out yet?

Just did. I will start answering those now. I don't have cow, muzzy or limited opp done but can answer those as we go since I get fewer requests for them.

1st choice= unit 6b early archery - 72%

2nd choice= 5b south early archery - 9%

or

1st choice= 27 early rifle - <1%

Unit 1 and 10 C.h.a.m.p. elk hunt with 3 points?

I am not quite as dialed in on this cause I did not due a full table since this is probably the only request I will get for these hunts but a good estimate is 1 - 5%, 10 - 15%

 

Since I am an estimator, I feel like you can probably rest easy that these are pretty close.

Will 9 pts nonres get me any bull tags?

Yeah it'll get you about 25% of the archery hunts, several late rifle and most of the late archery.

There are 3 of us putting in on one application. 5,5 and 6 bonus points for unit 27 and 23 late rifle. I assume the fraction of a point will fall off because it is less than .5. Thanks

16%, 13%

Non resident 5 points archery sept hunt

1st choice 3a/3c

2nd choice 6a

 

Thanks!

I did not pull the non resident breakdowns this year because it requires a special request and I never got around to putting it in. But I very much doubt that 3a/3c had any NR tags left in the 1-2 pass last year. With that changing this year, you will have a chance, but I can't calculate it precisely. It will be SMALL. The resident chance was 6%, so figure about 10% of that to give you an idea.

 

6A historically does not fill the quota in the bonus pass, but that doesn't really matter anymore. The resident odds are 25%, yours will be less than that. However, the bonus pass was 6 for that unit last year so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

2 youth...zero points (well 1 Hunter Ed each) and just want to hunt. Can't hunt the youth hunt due to family commitments that week.

 

Best chance for a bull hunt?

Best chance for cow?

Sorry, but if I told you that here they wouldn't be the best odds anymore. Typically the hunts with the best odds tend to have smaller tag numbers, and weird seasons and dates. Youth hunts are actually not easier to draw.

 

A few good options for you:

3B late muzzleloader bull hunts

Late season rifle bull hunts for non premium units on the rim

Cow hunts in the units you dont see talked about all the time. Be sure to check the success rates in the regs, you dont want a sucky hunt to start them out.

 

Text me if you want more help.

Could you double check these for me please?

Nonresident 9 bps

All 2015 hunt numbers

3113 22s ml

3127 5bs a

3122 3b a

3128 6a a

3140 22 a

3123 4a a

According to what I'm seeing I should have a very good chance of drawing at least 4 of those tags and a 50-60% on the other 2? Am I correct?

Also any I should avoid or really try for?

Thanks

Seems about right to me. I would avoid hunts with a very small number of tags, Since now only 5% of the tags can go to NR in the bonus pass, you will kind of lose your benefit on the ones where the bonus pass line was right around 9. Try to pick a unit where the BP line was 7 or 8 for your best shot. I have hunted all of those units and I can say that 22s and 3b, get really small really fast with more limited habitat ranges that time of year. Everything else is pretty typical elk habitat. Oh, and I expect 22 to creep to 10 this year.

Flat lander, I would love to know if your statistical analysis would agree with what the draw odds app says.

 

I am looking at 6a early archery resident with 6bp. This is what it tells me:

Seems close. I came up with 22% vs. their 28%.
