Wyoming Elk — Unit 016

Wyoming Elk Unit 016 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. Wyoming's report publishes no point thresholds.

No point thresholds in this report. The Wyoming release these tables come from lists applicants and tags only. Every "Pts Req." cell below reads as not published, not as zero points needed — and each table covers one residency pool, so read the heading before you read the number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Wyoming Elk Unit 016?
The most recent published odds are 10.2% for resident applicants in 2026 — 2,027 applicants for 207 tags on the Rifle General Type 1 either sex hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 0.5% (3 tags, 591 applicants). Wyoming publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for Wyoming Elk Unit 016?
We won't guess. The Wyoming report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.
Is the competition increasing for Wyoming Elk Unit 016?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle General Type 1 either sex hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 10.4% in 2024 and 10.2% in 2026. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
