Utah Bison Draw Odds
2026points to draw & draw odds by unit, easiest to hardest.
HuntersIntel tracks nonresident points-to-draw and draw odds for 15 Utah bison hunt units, ranging from 21 to 29 preference points to draw. Utah uses a bonus-point system for most limited-entry hunts — points square your odds rather than guaranteeing a tag, so even top point-holders should read the odds, not just the point count. Across these units the draw threshold is rising about 1.1 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.
