HuntersIntel tracks nonresident points-to-draw and draw odds for 4 California elk hunt units, ranging from 22 to 23 preference points to draw. California uses a modified preference draw by hunt zone — points weight the draw heavily but do not guarantee a tag on the most sought-after zones.

Draw odds reflect the most recent published results and shift year to year — always confirm current odds and rules with the state wildlife agency before applying.
