Colorado Draw Odds 2025

How the Colorado draw works

Colorado awards limited licenses through a preference point draw: applicants with the most points are drawn first, and each year you don't draw (or buy a point) adds one to your total. That makes odds predictable. For most hunt codes there's a point level where your odds hit 100%, and this tool shows it for every hunt.

A wrinkle worth knowing: for high-demand hunt codes, Colorado runs a hybrid draw where a share of tags is drawn at random regardless of points, so even zero-point applicants have a real (if small) chance at trophy units. Hunts with a hybrid component are badged in the tool.

Residents and nonresidents draw from separate allocations with very different odds, so always toggle to your residency. And remember: odds here are last year's actual results. Point creep means high-demand hunts usually need slightly more points each year.
