Stop guessing which tag is actually drawable.
HuntPilot turns 10 western states of draw odds, harvest data, regulations, and 180,000+ field reports into one answer — which tag, which year, which season — calculated for your point level and residency.
No credit card. No expiring free tier.
The problem
Most western hunters are still researching the hard way.
- 01
Six tabs of state agency PDFs.
Season dates here. Draw odds there. Fees on a third page. Hunt boundaries on a fourth. Every state structured differently.
- 02
Spreadsheet math you can't verify.
Every state draws differently — preference, bonus, bonus-squared, pool-aware. Your homemade odds calculator probably doesn't model any of it correctly.
- 03
A separate subscription for every state.
Or one mapping app that's great for boots-on-the-ground and useless for picking the right tag in the first place.
The answer
Four tools, one dataset, one straight answer.
Start with the advisor. Drill in with the simulator. Lock the year-by-year plan with the optimizer. No tab switching, no spreadsheet gymnastics.

WY Unit 61 Type 1 — Tag Cut Impact
The 2026 quota dropped from 150 → 125 tags. Based on applicant trends, expect 2026 draw odds in the 30–35% range — down from 2025’s 36%.
Type 1 in this unit has ranged 25–36% over 2022–2025, so a dip to the low-30s fits the volatility you’ve already seen. Still drawable, still one of the more accessible bull tags in the state for residents.

Built for the application, not just the field.
Mapping apps tell you where to hunt once you have a tag. HuntPilot is for the part that comes before — deciding which tag is actually worth applying for.
All 10 western states. One subscription.
WY, MT, CO, UT, NV, NM, AZ, OR, WA, ID — same login, same dataset, same price. No per-state surcharges. No add-ons to draw a tag in the next state over.
Math from each state's actual draw mechanics.
Preference, bonus, bonus-squared, pool-aware, hybrid — every state's draw is modeled differently because every state runs differently. Validated against published per-point results.
An AI that reads the actual regulations.
Grounded retrieval against state agency documents, harvest data, and 180,000+ field reports. Not a chatbot bolted onto a mapping app, and not a search box that returns forum links.

Pricing

One subscription covers all 10 western states. No per-state surcharges. No add-ons. No upsells once you're in.
Common questions
The things every first-time buyer asks.
Straight answers. No marketing speak. If we don't cover yours, the advisor will.
How is this different from the apps I already use?
Most hunting platforms fall into one of two buckets: mapping apps that show you where to hunt once you have a tag, and per-state subscriptions that bolt draw odds onto a forum. HuntPilot covers all 10 western states under one subscription, models each state's actual draw mechanics, and runs an AI advisor grounded in the regulations themselves — not Reddit threads.
Where does the data come from?
State wildlife agencies (draw results, harvest reports, regulations), county-level B&C trophy records, and 180,000+ field reports scraped from public hunting forums. Every numeric claim in the AI advisor is verified against the source data after generation — we call it grounding-checking. If a number can't be substantiated, the response gets flagged and rewritten.
What if I'm new to applying for western tags?
Start with the advisor. Type plain English (“I'm new to applying — where should I start?”) and it walks you through residency, point-state strategy, and which species to target first. The free profile builder pre-fills your points by state once you tell it where you live and what you've been applying for.
Can I cancel? What if I don't like it?
Yes, cancel anytime from your profile — your access stays active through the end of the billing period. Paid plans start with a 2-day free trial. The free tier never expires, so you can downgrade back to free without losing your unit history or saved places.
