Colorado Elk Draw Odds

2026points to draw & draw odds by unit, easiest to hardest.

HuntersIntel tracks nonresident points-to-draw and draw odds for 115 Colorado elk hunt units, ranging from 0 to 32 preference points to draw. Colorado runs a preference-point draw — the highest point-holders draw first, so the most sought-after bull and buck tags now take 20+ points. The points-to-draw below is for an antlered (bull/buck/either-sex) tag, the number most hunters are chasing. Across these units the draw threshold is rising about 0.6 points per year on average (point creep) — plan your applications accordingly.

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.
